Anil Sharma completes 'Genius' script

Filmmaker Anil Sharma has completed the script of his new project "Genius". He says 19 months of work went into it, and now he is excited about its pre-production.

"With blessing of God, finally script of 'Genius'. 19 months of hard work. Really excited... Ready for pre-production," Sharma, known for "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha", tweeted on Saturday.

He is launching his son Utkarsh as a hero with the movie.

"We will soon start the shooting of the film in the next one or two months," Sharma told the media here at the inauguration of Pakhi Hegde's PRK organisation, which will build affordable homes.

Sharma, whose "Gadar: Ek Prem Katha" was based on the love story of an Indian man and a Pakistani woman, was also asked to comment on how "Begum Jaan" is not getting a release in Pakistan.

He said: "It is their country and they have every right to decide which film they want to release over there. We have no say in that."

Sharma's last release was "Singh Saab the Great", starring Sunny Deol.
