Now add Prakash Jha to this list!
Jha, who has just wrapped up the shooting of APAHARAN [Nana, Ajay, Bipasha], is starting a string of projects, all with outside directors. "I intend starting at least three films before the year comes to a close," the film-maker informs me. The first to roll will be directed by actor Nana Patekar. "He has readied the script. I should be hearing the narration one of these days. The casting will be decided thereafter," he adds.
Jha will be overseeing the projects in the capacity of the producer. Meanwhile, Jha's own project will roll next year.
