Rituparna shoots in movie Jihaad on Gulshan attacks

Indian lustrous actress Rituparna Sengupta says it’s a pleasure to shoot with "Kaabil" actor Rohit Roy.

Rituparna tweeted on Monday: "Shooting for one of my upcoming films, `Jihaad` by Agnidev Chatterjee in full swing. It`s always a pleasure to shoot with Rohit Roy and Rachel White."

The Hindi film is said to be based on the Dhaka’s Gulshan terror attacks in 2016. Nine Italians and a US citizen were among the 20 people hacked to death when a group of Islamic State terrorists burst into a restaurant popular with foreigners in the Bangladeshi capital of Dhaka on July 1, 2016.

In October 2016, Bangladeshi noted filmmaker Mostofa Sarwar Farooki revealed plans for film based on the terror attack on the Holey Artisan Bakery, the once popular upscale eatery in the capital`s Gulshan area.
