 Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's next is likely to take off from where "Sada Haq" leaves in his forthcoming film, "Rockstar". Though this song in the film only has a hint of the Tibetan cause, Imitiaz's next will depict rich Indian overcoming societal strictures to fight for Tibetans in exile.
And if the filmmaker's enthusiasm about this plot is anything to go by, the film should soon hit the production floors.
Having prepared a rough draft, Imtiaz will start to conceptualize the project in a few days. It is likely that the director will scout for a fresh face as the female lead in the film who could even be Tibetan, and the male lead is also yet to be finalized. The movie will have political turmoil as one of the aspects along with love brewing between a Tibetan and a multi-millionaire Indian boy.
"Yes, I'm working on the project. And once I am free from "Rockstar" I will go to McLeodganj to complete the groundwork," says Imtiaz who felt the need to espouse the Tibetan cause when he was in Dharamshala to shoot for the "Rockstar" song "Sada Haq". "I talked to a lot of Tibetans then. They are peace-loving people and are just fighting for their haq," says Ali.
