New Delhi: After making films on terrorism and sperm donation, director Shoojit Sircar has started working on a new script on a totally new and unexpected subject - constipation!
"I want to do a film on constipation. I`ve a fascination for constipation. I am working on the script," Sircar said in an interview.
The genre is yet to be decided, but there will be a humour element in it, he said. "I don`t know if it will be comedy or not, but it will be shown in a humorous way."
If his first movie, the critically acclaimed `Yahaan` revolved around Kashmir, Sircar offered a heavy dose of laughter in his successful movie `Vicky Donor`, which talked about an issue like sperm donation.
The director likes to bring forward those stories that are interesting. His recently-released "Madras Cafe" is a spy thriller and he claims he has a knack for such subject. "I knew about the subject and I thought it is an interesting story that should be brought forward. That`s how I worked on the script (of `Madras Cafe`)," said Sircar.
So far he might have stayed away from movies filled with glitz and glamour, but he said he won`t mind doing it if the story is good.
"As long as it`s senseless I won`t do it. If glitz and glamour make sense, I`ll do it for sure. But if it`s mindless, I won`t be interested. It should have a good story," he said.
Sircar has tasted success, but admits he is yet to crack the hit formula.
"I love to play with genres. I don`t have a hit formula. I am also trying and testing," he said.
The filmmaker considers the script of his films to be the hero, but admits enjoying a good bond with John Abraham, the lead actor and producer of `Madras Cafe`.
"While we were working on the script (`Madras Cafe`), the `Vicky Donor` idea came up and we worked on that. After that we were ready with the script and we said let`s move on and make the film. That`s how the film came up and our partnership also went ahead," said Sircar, whose `Vicky Donor` was also produced by John.
"He doesn`t interfere in my job as a creative person. For marketing, I depend on him as I know nothing about it... I hope to carry on and do more good films with John," he added.
The two certainly make a great team, but the director had put one condition in front of the well-built actor before signing him for `Madras Cafe`.
"The condition of doing the film was that he had to look thin. I told him that he should look like a part of the crowd. He agreed and we moved on," said Sircar.
