New Delhi: He was her last resort for her critically-acclaimed directorial debut "Luck By Chance". But for her second film Zoya Akhtar has specially written a part for brother Farhan.
"It`s a road movie set in Spain about three boys and one of the three characters is definitely Farhan. I knew I wanted him. I was very clear that I wanted to work with him again," said Zoya. Daughter of well-known lyricist Javed Akhtar, Zoya informed that her writer filmmaker-actor brother will not only act in the film, but also pen the dialogues for it. "I am writing this film with Reema Kagti. I`m wrapping up the script but as of now it is not locked yet. Then probably I`ll sit with Farhan for the dialogues and the casting," she said. Throwing light on the film, she said: "It`s a coming of age genre. But it`ll be simpler than ?Luck By Chance` and simpler to understand. A feel-good factor will be there in that sense," said Zoya on the sidelines of the ongoing 11th annual Osian`s Cinefan Film Festival of Asian and Arab Cinema. Asked is her movie was in any sense a follow up to the upcoming Abhay Deol-starrer "Road Movie", she said: "The trend`s been there. Look at `Jab We Met`. It is a road film. It`s got that vibe of a road movie. And the promos to the `Road Movie` are gorgeous too." IANS
