  Director Muzaffar Ali, who is known for delivering cult classic film titled as “Umrao Jaan” past three decades has completed work on his new period drama “Jaanisaar”. Pakistani actor Imran Abbas Naqvi are seen in the lead roles.

  

  On Tuesday he said, “‘Jaanissar’ is set in the period when we lost the First War of Independence in 1857, a time when the British created a subjugated nation”.

  He added, “The story deals with a love story in which the boy is westernised and the girl is deeply rooted in the ethos of Indian culture”.

  He continued, “I have chosen lyrics on my own. Lyrics are taken from the poetry of Wajid Ali Shah and Rahi Masoom Raza. In total we have around seven to eight songs in the film”.

  Muzaffar said, “I pick subjects which are lessons for the country. I was doing a few more things which couldn’t see the light of day. Since last 10 to 15 years I was working on several scripts. Fortunately, this script caught producer’s mind and we made it finally."

  32-year old said, “My role is of a prince. He basically belongs to India but has been brought up in Britain. He is sent back to Lucknow again after becoming a proper British man. Then he falls in love with this girl (Noor played by Pernia), who is a courtesan”.

  He said, “It was not much difficult to step into my character because I belong to an Urdu speaking family. My father belongs to Uttar Pradesh. He migrated to Pakistan after partition. I have a very strong connection with Urdu and this area”.

  Pernia said, “I started dancing from the age of four. I’m a trained Kuchipudi and Kathak dancer. I was too excited to be a part of ‘Jaanisaar’. I was a little concerned on the director’s behalf as I didn’t want to disappoint him. But he helped me a lot”.
