“Mehreen and I have been in touch since the past seven years but have not been able to work together. We were to do Lahore together
and she had even signed the film but just before the schedule, she had a
bad accident on the ramp in London. Now that I am starting my next
film, I spoke to her and she has been roped in,” said Sanjay.
The filmmaker added: “In the past
few years she has been getting a lot of Bollywood offers but she was
clear that she wanted to do a certain kind of cinema. My film is a black
comedy and a very different take on the current political scenario in
the sub-continent.”
Work on the film is scheduled to start in October.
