Actress Soha Ali Khan is the latest to join the cast of Deepa Mehta’s much-talked about venture, ‘Midnight’s Children’ an adaptation of the Booker Prize winning novel by Salman Rushdie.
The film already boasts of actors like Shabana Azmi, Nandita Das, Seema Biswas and Irrfan Khan as its cast and Soha can’t stop feeling lucky to be a part of it.
“I have never worked with someone as senior as Deepa so it is an honour for me. I haven’t worked with many female director except Sangeeta (director of her film ‘Life Goes On’) so that will be another experience all together,” Soha said.
Despite the excitement, Soha does not want to divulge much about the project which goes on floor later this year.
“Oh she (Deepa) would kill me if I talk about it. It is at very initial stages and she has just allowed me to say that I am a part of the film beyond that my lips are sealed,” said Soha, who was here to inaugurate a new range of Viva mobiles.
‘Midnight’s Children’ will be out next year but before that Soha’s horror film ‘Accident’ with actor Shiney Ahuja is awaiting release.
A Pritish Nandy Communications film, director Abhijit Chaudhary is done with the shooting and busy with post production.
