Mumbai:
After bringing up sensitive issues like HIV/AIDS and homosexuality through his films My Brother Nikhil and I Am, filmmaker Onir is now working on a new project Shab, his first romantic saga.
"I think Shab will be my first true love story. A film about love and lust, want and need," tweeted the filmmaker.
The project is currently in its scripting stage.
"Read my script Shab again after a gap of two months. Scripting is such an endless process. Will write the next draft from tomorrow.
"But honestly I AM already in love with the way it's shaping up, changing. I can see the images. Wonder which bodies will embody my image," he added.
Onir, who recently won a National Award for his film I Am, said he has been working on the script for the past 10 years.
"I think Shab is my most difficult script till now. An intense relationship film. A script I have been working on and off for 10 years," he wrote.
He hopes the project takes shape soon.
"Yes it's taken a decade and finally I hope Shab will see the light of day. Each scene a pearl. But finally when beaded together correctly become a priceless piece of jewellery waiting to adorn the audiences dream.
"Right now I have unknown faces and voices. Waiting to find them. Some are known. Dunno if Shab will finally find them," he further posted.
