Saturday, 23rd May 2015, 4:12 PM IST ‘Qissa’ director Anup Singh and actor Irrfan Khan will be teaming up once again for a musical. The movie which is titled as ‘Mantra’ stars Iranian actress-singer-musician Golshifteh Farahani opposite Irrfan in the film. Talking about how they got Golshifteh on board, Irrfan said, "When Anup and I were at the Abu Dhabi Film Festival last year we walked into the screening of a Middle-Eastern film, ‘My Sweet Pepper Land’ and were floored by Golshifteh. I told Anup she was our girl and he asked why she'd ever say yes to us?" When an anxious Irrfan approached her, the actress smiled and said, "I loved your film, ‘The Lunchbox’ and it would be great to work with you." "I was mesmerised when I first saw her, her beauty is like poetry. Anup and I had instantly known that she would be the right fit for the role. We got her on board even before the festival ended," he added. Golshifteh is currently shooting with Johnny Depp for ‘Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Lies’. She will be in Mumbai by the end of the year to start the shooting of ‘Mantra’. "‘Mantra’ is a love saga based on a folklore and will be completely shot in Rajasthan," Anup said.
