Kajol
Anand Gandhi is putting together his next film as a writer, featuring Kajol, and reveals that the project could have taken off earlier had Ship Of Theseus (2012) not happened. The film is produced by Ajay Devgn and will be directed by Pradeep Sarkar. "It has been a while [since we are working on it]. It is in early stages of pre-production, they have locked Pradeep Sarkar to direct the film. I am excited about it," Anand says.
Kajol
The film is an adaptation of Gandhi's Gujarati play, Beta Kaagdo. "The film is based on a play, which itself was loosely based on my mother's life. She is excited to see Kajol in the film. I have no idea [who will play my part]," he says. "In the last 12 years, I have been thinking of adapting the play into a film. I have been working on this on and off."
Anand Gandhi
When Gandhi first thought of the project, he discussed it with writer Robin Bhatt. "He has written 55 awesome films. He was the one who recommended that the play should be made into a film with Kajol," Gandhi says.
