Actress Shabana Azmi's brother, cinematographer Baba Azmi has finally taken the plunge and decided to turn director. It was Shabana and Javed who managed to push him to take the step. Baba is best remembered for his excellent work with the camera in films like Tezaab and Mr India.
And not surprisingly, the film is being written by none other than Javed himself. The last time that he wrote a script for someone was his son, Farhan, for whom he wrote Lakshya. This makes it his second in so many years. It seems that he is willing to take up his pen to write stories only for family. Now that the script is being taken care of, Baba will be concentrating on the cast of the film. Unfortunately he has no role in his debut venture for his sister Shabana or his very talented wife, Tanvi. This first time director is not putting any pressure on himself and will only start once everything falls into place. We wish him all the best.
