| ||||
Wednesday, 15th April 2015, 4:09 PM IST Tigmanshu Dhulia will be directing a film based on Aashu Patel's novel ‘Madam X’, which releases today. Earlier, Anurag Kashyap and Tigmanshu Dhulia together had expressed an interest in scripting a film based on the novel. Reportedly, Anurag had told Tigmanshu that he would like to co-produce the film. Later, Huma Qureshi had revealed that Dhulia has offered her a lead role in a film. "Then both Anurag and Tishu called me to say they wanted me to play this intelligent, glamorous gangster in a thriller spread across continents. How could I say no to the dream team?" she had stated. However, now, Dhulia is not ready to speak about partnership with Anurag or the casting of the film. He said, "We are yet to finalise the formalities. All I can say is that my company is working on the script and the film should roll by the year end or early next year." ‘Madam X’ is about a girl Rachana, from a small town girl of Madhya Pradesh who joins the police. "Then, from the arms of an Indore cop, comes to Mumbai, becomes a receptionist, model, call girl, B-grade heroine and finally joins the underworld when her lover leaves her penniless. It's a gripping novel and gives us great insights into the activities of the underworld which were at the peak in the nineties," Tigmanshu said.
