Farah Khan has something different in store for all her fans.

According to Indian Express, the filmmaker, known to have a star-studded cast for her films, has decided to step out of her comfort zone; not only is she making a woman-centric film, but it will not feature any famous stars in it.

Farah Khan told IANS, “I have written a script and this time its a small script, and it’s not star-driven. It’s a two-girl project so still waiting for it to happen because I have not put a big star in it.”

One would imagine the project to sail through smoothly without a major star cast flick, but according to Farah it's the complete opposite.

“It was easier for me to get a INR 100-crore project green-lit but a INR 20-crore project is taking time because it doesn’t have a star,” she added.

But will the film see newcomers? Farah answers in the negative. “No it’s not with newcomers then I will not even get INR 20 crore. It’s a girl-centric film and we do have a working title but we don’t want to give it out right now," the director revealed.

There may be a new learning curve for Farah as she pointed out, “The thing is stars make it easier for the project to be green-lit. Otherwise, everyone will question your script a 100 times. If you have a star saying yes to it give that newspaper cutting and nobody will ask any question that’s the good side and the bad side to it. You tend to work a little less on the content because you have a big star driving it sometimes.”

She added, “That opening is for sure. With other movies you don’t know, it can die in a week. If it’s a great movie by word-of-mouth, it grows, but that’s a 1 in 100 [chance]. I think that’s why not only here, but even in Hollywood when an actor becomes a star and has a certain amount of equity, name everyone wants to cash on it,”

We don't know who the leads will be in this flick but this seems to be a movie to look out for!

Talent and only the latent talent should be discovered and used as the driving force in all movies. It is no body's "jaagir" to be actors. It is not in blood and genes. You have to discover your own God-gifted and unknown to you abilities and use use them, as the creator has created.
