Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Next Lafander Is Youth Oriented

Rang De Basanti fame director Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra is once again back with a youth oriented flick titled Lafander. Reportedly, it took three years for the filmmaker to write the script of the film. “My production house is starting three movies immediately after Mirziya and I am directing one of them. It is set in the competitive eco-system today's youngsters are released into and left to deal with”, he told Mumbai Mirror.

About the delay in the script, he says that although he wanted to start with the project earlier this year but his wife, who he says is his greatest critic, resisted his decision. “She greenlights all my films. She always tells me when my script needs more time. When I got frustrated with this one and told her that I needed to start shooting, she said that I needed to go on a vacation, not on the sets, and ordered me to go cook instead, which I love doing. When I'm in the kitchen, I forget everything”, he revealed.

Not only his wife but also his daughter contributes to his films. “I gave the Lafander script to my 16-year-old daughter to read because I wanted a youngster's opinion. It's a coming-of-age story told through a girl's point of view. She really liked the script”. Rakeysh said.
