If things go as planned, Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan or Saif Ali Khan will get to act with British actresses Kate Winslet or Rachel Weisz. Director Pan Nalin wants either Aamir or Saif to play a lunatic in his next movie, a screen adaptation of Pakistani writer Saadat Hasan Manto’s short story “Toba Tek Singh”ses like Rachel Weisz or Kate Winslet are being considered to essay the role of female protagonist.Pan currently is in Cannes for the screening of his short movie on global warming. He has already been to Pakistan to get the rights of the short story.
It tells the tale of a mental patient Bishan Singh, who belongs to the town of Toba Tek Singh. After the 1947 partition, when the governments of India and Pakistan decide to exchange their Muslim, Sikh and Hindu lunatics, the drama that unravels forms the base of the story. Its a powerful satire. Either Kate or Rachel will probably play the character of Dr Sophie who visits the asylum to divide the mental patients. Pan will soon talk to both the ladies as soon as he is back from Cannes. He thinks either of them can do full justice to the role.s convey that Aamir Khan has gone through the script and has liked it too, but the busy actor has not given any dates for it yet. If Aamir Khan is too busy to do this movie, Pan is not worried because he feels Saif Ali Khan can play the role as well as Aamir Khan can. So ot depends upon the availability of the actors when the film goes on the floors this August.
