Filmmaker-actor-singer Farhan Akhtar, who is set to make a comeback as a director after over a decade, has started scouting for locations for his upcoming film, Jee Le Zaraa, starring Alia Bhatt, Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Katrina Kaif.

Man who made Mughal-e-Azam

Man who made Mughal-e-Azam

Tigmanshu Dhulia, who won a National Award for his film Paan Singh Tomar (2012), is excited to direct another biopic. This time, his subject of interest is producer-director K Asif, who is most noted for the 1960s classic, Mughal-e-Azam. On his fascination with Asif, Dhulia says, “I learnt about some incidents about K Asif, which intrigued me. That man was a class-five dropout; tailoring was his craft, and he made [few] films in his life: Phool (1945), Mughal-e-Azam and Love and God. [Mughal-e-Azam] is said to be a magnum opus, but from where I see it, that man was a magnum opus.”
