Sonam's next: desi Alice in Wonderland?

Shashank Ghosh had planned a sequel to Quickgun Murugun but that did not materialise. Ghosh will now be making a film for Anil Kapoor’s daughter, Rhea, who recently produced Aisha with her sister Sonam in the lead.

The buzz is that Shashank would be working on an Indianised version of Alice In Wonderland. Wonder if he’ll play the Mad Hatter, because Sonam’s certainly Alice.

Says Shashank, “I’d like to do my version of Alice In Wonderland with Sonam. But for now I’m doing something else for her home production. I can’t talk about it since it’s a foreign tie-up with Walt Disney. And they have their own ideas on how a film should be projected.

All I can say is that my film with Sonam will go into a completely different space from Aisha. It will certainly not be elitist in tone. I don’t know that world at all.”

Adds Ghosh, “Rhea Kapoor came to me with the idea. I loved it. So there was no scope of giving her my idea on what to make. But I do intend to throw Alice In Wonderland in Rhea’s realm very soon.”

Strangely Shashank has not met Sonam yet. Nor has he watched any of her films. But he plans to start shooting the film in March 2011. Hope Sonam’s reading this...
