Rakeysh
Omprakash Mehra who is busy
these days with the post production of Bhaag
Milkha Bhaag
has already started planning his next project. His next titled Mirza
will be a contemporary love story based on the legendry love story of Mirza and
Sahibaan. He is a director who prefers to write his own scripts, will be making
an exception with Mirza
and has entrusted the job to lyricist, screenwriter and poet Gulzar.
Mehra who always wanted to work with Gulzar was waiting for the right
opportunity to work with the veteran poet since the age of 22. He had gone to
meet Gulzar with a copy of Devdas
then and had asked the poet to write a script for it.
Mehra says,
“He didn’t know me and I just walked up to him, kept the book on his table and
said, ‘I want you to write this film for me.’ And now 27 years later, he is
actually writing a film for me! It’s a dream come true for
me.”
Mehra had got
the idea of screen adaptation of Mirza
- Sahibaan during the making of his last film, ‘Delhi 6’. The film will
go on floors soon.
