Deepa Mehta has concurred to direct a film based on Salman Rushdie’s “Midnight Children”.
In this book, Rushdie has given an immense importance to a character, Saleem Sinai. He was in search of a correct person to portray this memorable role and was not willing to compromise.
Ultimately seeing Imran and his chubby, boyish face, he is now totally inclined to sign him for the movie.
Deepa Mehta is giving a strong support for this movie and is all praise for Salman Rushdie for his active role in casting for the film.
