Her latest directorial Raazi has just hit the silver screen to great reviews and excellent box-office collections but filmmaker Meghna Gulzar is in no mood to take a break. She has, in fact, started work on her next movie. While her latest film tells the story of an Indian spy Sehmat on a secret mission in Pakistan, her next will be based on the life of war hero Field Marshal Sam Manekshaw.
“I have been committed to it for a year or so. It’s a subject that requires some serious amount of research," said Gulzar while talking about the biopic on Marshal Sam Manekshaw.
For the uninitiated, Marshal Sam Manekshaw was the first Indian Army Officer to be promoted to the rank of Field Marshal. His role in India’s wars against China in 1962 and Pakistan in 1965 and 1971 was remarkable and still draws immense respect from all Indians.
The yet-to-be-titled project will be financed by Ronnie Screwvala.
