Gurinder, known for helming films like "Bhaji on the Beach", "Bend It Like Beckham" and "Bride and Prejudice", wrote "Woo hoo!" as she shared the news on her Twitter page.

"Pashmina" is a fantasy and adventure story that follows Priyanka, a first generation American of Indian descent, as she explores her family history with the help of a magical pashmina.

"When our hero, Priyanka, puts on the magical pashmina for the first time and is transported to the India of her dreams, that's when the fun, the magic, the song and the dancing really come to life," said Gurinder.
