For Farah, it is payback time
- IndiaGlitz, [Tuesday,May 17 2011]
It is a known fact that Farah Khan would be making her debut as a lead actress in 'Shirin Farhad', an urban romcom, which is set in current times. The film would the directorial debut of Bela, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's sister.
Says Farah, I have been offered roles before but they were mainly cameos where I played myself, case in point being 'Khichdi' and 'Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai' where I enacted the role of a film director. This is not the case in 'Shirin Farhad' as I get to play the title role.
Farah believes that there is some challenge up her sleeves because now she would be rubbing her shoulders with a talented actor like Boman Irani who plays Farhad in the film.
I directed Boman in 'Main Hoon Naa' when he had just started off as an actor. I guess it's time for him to pay back, laughs Farah as she gets ready for the 'lights, camera and action', though this time on the receiving end, I am expecting him to hold my finger when I am acting. He is the veteran here after all.
The film goes on floors this October and would be wrapped up by end of November.
