Subhash Ghai is so impressed by debutante director Imtiaz Ali’s film Socha Na Tha (Abhay Deol, Ayesha Takia) that he has signed him to direct a film for Mukta Arts. Ghai feels that the treatment to the film is excellent. As for Ghai's film to be directed by Ali, it would be an emotional love story. The cast is touted to be consisting of some biggies. Ghai has also signed Nagesh Kukunoor and Satish Kaushik for his other productions.
"When I saw Socha Na Tha, I just loved it. The film is so cute that anyone who watches it will fall in love with it. I liked the fact that Imtiaz was able to extract such excellent performances from the newcomers. The other reason I liked the film was because of the interesting narrative and the fact that the story and characters were so realistic," says Ghai.
What will Ghai’s new film be about? "The story and screenplay has been written by the in-house story workshop of Mukta Arts. It will be a light-hearted love story," says Ghai. The casting is in the process of being finalized and the film will go on the floor in June. It will be made with big stars, according to the grapevine. Ali’s work has been appreciated so much that he won’t have any problems getting big names to sign on. |
