After adding films like Aks (2001), Rang De Basanti (2006), Delhi 6 (2009) and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag (2013) to his repertoire, award-winning filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is now gearing up to helm an out-and-out comedy film.
The acclaimed director has collaborated with his Rang De Basanti writer Rensil D’Silva for the light-hearted drama. Mehra has finalized the script and now he will begin the casting process as he plans to start production by the year-end.
The untitled movie will be centred around generational conflicts. “There has been a paradigm shift in the world in the last 15 years, especially with the present generation. The film is my salute to them,” says Mehra.
Mehra reveals that he first started work on the story almost two-and-a-half-years ago, but then moved on to direct his social-drama, Mere Pyaare Prime Minister, which is around the corner for release.
The director also adds that he keeps learning new things from his children. He feels that nowadays the society demands a lot from the younger generation. "I place myself in their shoes and I think that life has demanded a lot less from my generation. It wasn’t exactly la la land for us, but today there are demands of the society, of friend circles, of workplaces. Everything has gone through a transition and we are on the brink of a new social order, one that is more gender-neutral."
