Vishal Bhardwaj mulls film on Mafia Queens
MUMBAI: Vishal Bhardwaj’s penchant for films with women subjects has not died down even after the failure of 7 Khoon Maaf that had Priyanka Chopra in the lead.
The director is mulling with the idea of making a film on a book by Hussain Zaidi titled ‘Mafia Queens of Mumbai’ from which he will adapt one chapter.
Bhardwaj will start rolling the film once he finishes with the shoot of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Shah Rukh Khan-starrer 2 States. But since the film wouldn’t go on the floors till the end of the year, he will finish with the scripting of the film till then. Meanwhile, he will also assimilate the star cast.
Bhardwaj had earlier directed films like Maqbool, Omkara and Kaminey among others.
