Aziz Mirza’s next project will see him move out of Mumbai and work without his protégé’ Shah Rukh Khan.
“My new film, for which we’ve found no suitable title as yet, is set in a foreign city. I made a conscious decision to move out of Mumbai this time,” Aziz said.
Considerable time has passed since Aziz last wielded the director’s baton for ‘Chalte Chalte’. “Since I last made a film, the process of globalisation has been accelerated. I want to see how it affects my protagonist. But yes I’ll continue to be taken up with the problems of the have-nots.”
There’s much speculation in tinsel town about how Aziz and his protégé Shah Rukh have drifted apart.
Aziz is genuinely surprised at the rumours. “Not at all. Juhi (Chawla) and Shah Rukh are like my own children. How can I move away from them? The only reason why Shah Rukh is not in my new film is because this role required a young boy, just out of college.
“In fact the minute Juhi heard the role she said she could see a younger Shah Rukh in it. That how Shahid Kapoor came in.”
