Saeed Akhtar Mirza to release his autobiography 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, May 29, 2007 - 08:22 IST
Remember Saeed Akhtar Mirza, the filmmaker who revolutionized the offbeat parallel cinema movement in 80s with his films like Albert Pinto Ko Gussa Kyon Aata Hai, Arvind Desai Ki Ajeeb Dastaan,Mohan Joshi Hazir Ho, Salim Langde Pe Mat Ro and the hit television series Nukkad? The man hasn’t been seen for a while since his last film Naseem that released way back in 1995.
Once a director who made films on his own terms has now kept himself away from filmmaking. “I have temporarily disengaged myself from films. I travel a lot and do a lot of documentaries”, says the Mirza on his current interest.
But what about his future plans? “I am currently penning a book”. And what’s the book about? “It’s my biography. It’s a long journey. The journey of my life”, he reveals. Saeed is hopeful that the book will be out by the end of August or beginning of September.
