Producer-actress Dia Mirza is busy casting for three movies
being made under her banner and tells she would love to work with
"Kahaani" actress Vidya Balan.
She co-owns production house Born Free Entertainment along
with her beau, businessman Sahil Sangha, and actor Zayed Khan. "Love
Breakups Zindagi" was their first project.
"Vidya is someone who I would love to cast in the film.
She is a dear friend with a great temperament. She is an easy person to be with
and is a powerhouse performer," Dia said in an interview.
Her wish list doesn't end on Vidya. Adding more names, she
told, "I would love to work with Huma Qureshi and Richa Chadda - they are
very talented actors."
Talking about the status of three projects, Dia told,
"We are in the process of developing three films."
"We will start filming in October. We have invested a
year-and-a-half in scripting. It is everything that we stand by...All three
will release mid next year," she told.
The common thread between the three movies is
"universal human stories".
"They are all human interest stories. If I had to
streamline the genre, I would say each one of them is coming-of-age stories.
The milieu of the characters is different. I am excited about the quality of
writing. Each writer was given a-year-and-a-half. It has been an exciting and
exasperating process," she told.
Filmmaking is different from narrating good stories on
celluloid.
"A lot of us are in a hurry to just make a film. I was
clear that whatever I do, it should take care of everything. The priority was
story. I wanted to tell unique stories," she told.
The actress also added that she is not keen on acting in her
movies.
"I will not take up any role, if the film does not need
me," she told.
