Farah Khan to make film on 'girl power'

Nov 17, 2015 IANS

New Delhi, Nov 17 (IANS) After directing entertainers like "Main Hoon Na", "Om Shanti Om" and "Happy New Year", which were high on glamour and stars, choreographer-director Farah Khan is now planning to make a movie on "girl power". She says it will be more "real" than her past films.

"I'm writing a script which is about two girls. It's literally a 'girl power' movie, but it would be much more real than the movies I have made in the past. It will still be entertaining and fun. It will have humour, but it will have a message too," Farah told IANS over phone from Mumbai.

The 50-year-old choreographer says her friend, superstar Shah Rukh Khan's banner Red Chillies Entertainment will produce the film.

Farah, who is married to editor-filmmaker Shirish Kunder and has a triplet with him, says she wants to "re-invent" herself now.

"I think you have to reinvent yourself at all times. So right now, I want to make this movie and after this I may want to make a 'Happy New Year 2' or 'Main Hoon Na 2'... or something in the zone of those movies. I'm writing a script, and I'm working on a film which is a little more real than the movies I have made," said the filmmaker, whose "Om Shanti Om" will be screened at the 37th Cairo International Film Festival this week.
