Before making her next serious movie, filmmaker Deepa Mehta wants to dabble in some comedy.
After her “grim and disturbing” experience of making ‘Water’, Deepa Mehta wants to recoup her energy by making a comedy film.
The film would be a story of an Indian ayah (maid) working for a Canadian couple.
Mehta as already decided the actress who will play the maid in the movie, but she is not willing to reveal her name yet.
And the reason, she says, is: “I've had some terrible experiences with star tantrums while casting for 'Water'. Let's hope the actress whom I have in mind turns out to be professional about her job.”
After this comedy, which will be shot in a single start-to-finish schedule, Mehta will move to her next big project 'Komagata Maru' for which she has approached Amitabh Bachchan .
