MUMBAI:
Muzzafar Ali, known for his films like Umrao Jaan, is currently
working on a new project based on great Persian poet Rumi.
The
68-year-old, also behind other films like Gaman, says that he is
awaiting for resources to materialise so that he can begin work
on this ambitious project.
"I
am waiting for people with resources to understand my thinking and
support my ideas. Sometimes it happens, then it doesn't, so there
are a lot of ifs and buts. It takes a lot of work to get everyone
on the same page," Ali said.
But
before he could hit the floors, the director wants to finish work
on his Vinod Khanna-Dimple Kapadia starrer Zooni.
“Since
Zooni is half complete, I want to finish that after which I will
start working on the film about 'Rumi-the poet. Once I have the
support, I will think about star cast," he observed.
Ali
was speaking on the sidelines of the 43rd International Film Festival
of India where he is being paid a special tribute with his Rekha
starrer Umrao Jaan being screened there.
