MUMBAI: Known to have directed films like Sholay and Seeta Aur Geeta among others, Ramesh Sippy is returning to helm a film after a gap of 16 years. The veteran filmmaker is set to direct a romantic film.

Confirming the same Sippy said, "Yes, I am working on my next project, a romantic film. I am very excited with the way the script is shaping up and am looking forward to starting the casting process soon."
