Paoli Dam to make Bollywood debut

The 31-year-old actress, who came into prominence with her 2009 Bengali film `Kaalbela` directed by Gautam Ghose, will star in `Hate Story` to be produced by Bhatt`s company.

"Met Paoli Dam, a very accomplished actress from Bengal. Stunning! She will star in `Hate Story`... produced by my company ASA," Bhatt tweeted.

Paoli is the first actress from Tollywood to be linked with Bhatt`s production house.

The Bengali beauty dazzled on the Cannes red carpet in May with her Bengali film `Chhatrak` which was the only Indian feature entry at the festival in the Directors` Fortnight category.
