Despite the excitement, Soha does not want to divulge much about the project which goes on floor later this year."Oh she (Deepa) would kill me if I talk about it. It is at very initial stages and she has just allowed me to say that I am a part of the film beyond that my lips are sealed," said Soha, who was here to inaugurate a new range of Viva mobiles.

Midnight's Children will be out next year but before that Soha's horror film Accident with actor Shiney Ahuja is awaiting release.

A Pritish Nandy Communications film, director Abhijit Chaudhary is done with the shooting and busy with post production."It has been a slow year for me since Tum Mile. I was expecting 'Accident' to release but it has been delayed for some time. We are done with the shooting so I hope the producers release it soon," said Soha.

And it seems doing a horror film has taken its toll over the 31-tear-old actress as she is itching to do something lighter. As a result of which the audience will be seeing the actress in two romantic comedies back to back.

The first will be Chemistry with Shreyas Talpade who is also the producer of the film.
