"Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi", which featured Kay Kay Menon, Chitrangada Singh and Shiney Ahuja, was a social drama set against the backdrop of the Indian Emergency. The film received rave reviews and was screened at many international film festivals as well.
Meanwhile, Mishra is also working on his film "Mehrunissa" which will unite veteran actors Amitabh Bachchan and Rishi Kapoor on the screen.
The script revolves around two friends, who fall in love with the same woman and get separated, and how they meet again after 40 years.
Based in 1945, "Mehrunissa" will span over four decades.u00a0
