His next project in India is said to be Gold Mine, which is "based on a subject that came to Majidi during his frequent visits to north India," reveals a source.

In a statement, Majidi said that he is inspired by “the ambience of India” and “wonderful relationship between humans and nature” and that he has always “believed that India has so many stories to tell with its myriad of cultures and people from different milieu.”

The casting for the film is said to begin in two months and the film will go on floors in mid-2018.
