Dharamshala: - A leading Indian filmmaker, Mahesh Bhatt, has decided be on board of a Tibetan-themed film as the creative producer.
Speaking to PTI, he said, "The issue of Tibetan people, who have found home here in India is not known to many, especially the youth so it is important for us to bring the people of India closer to the journey of Tibetans who are now a part of our life through a simple, moving and interesting love story."
The debutant film director, Danish Iqbal, will direct the film which is yet to be titled and will star Indian actor Imran Zahid.
In an interview with Indian express Iqbal said: "There is so much happening wherever these people live, but we have turned a blind eye. We want to highlight youth's ignorance towards this issue with a love story at the centre."
The lead actress is not decided yet and the director said they are open to casting a Tibetan artist for the role.
The film will be largely shot at Tibetan colony of Majnu ka Tila in Delhi and is reported to go on floors by December-January.
