Well; well; well; you can certainly trust iconic if somewhat sporadic Hindi film maker Shekhar Kapur to not only give the stormy petrel called Kangana Ranaut a renewed lease of life but also conjure up the role of a lifetime and beyond for her.........
Kapur whose last directorial venture Bandit Queen hit the screens way back in 1994 in a blaze of controversy has all but confirmed that he had indeed met Kangana on quite a few occasions over the last few months and offered her a pivotal role in a film that will be akin to the 1983 sleeper box office hit "Masoom".........
Providing even further grist to the windmills the somewhat recalcitrant and reserved Kapur quipped that he was searching for a suitable subject to herald his second coming within the Hindi film industry for the last five years or so and had only recently narrowed down on a subject that would have shades of the much appreciated and critically acclaimed afore mentioned flick......
. Kapur further went on to say/quip that the proposed film would neither be an extension or sequel of his earlier venture but would be an emotional roller coaster like "Masoom" in more than a few ways and would trace the heroine's life progression between the ages of 20 something to a grizzled and wizened 85 year old........
Kangana seemed to be the natural choice for the character who had all but encroached upon every waking moment; I have already prepared an initial draft or rather working script of the yet untitled venture and will be firming up things with Kangana and making a formal announcement about the project once I have a bound script in my hands..........
"If everything falls in place as I envisage; we should be ready to go on the floors in the latter half (around November; December 2016) and I cannot imagine anyone else but Kangana essaying this dream role and am all but sure that she will graciously consent to act in the film that is ruling my dreams at the present moment".......
Well here's hoping and praying that this nascent project does indeed come to fruition and create both box office magic and cinematic magic that will indeed be the stuff of folklore and legends........
