Shagufta wants Bipasha, Randeep for directorial debut

By Hindustan Times

Shagufta Rafique, who have been writing for Vishesh Films after quitting her job as a bar dancer, is prepared to weild the megaphone. She says she would like to rope in Bipasha Basu and Randeep Hooda for her maiden directorial venture. "Nothing have been finalised yet, but I NEED to have Bipasha and Randeep to behave in my film," Shagufta, who wrote the script for Woh Lamhe, told IANS.

"It may be a thriller and i'm just waiting to finalise the forged and the production house. Once that may be done, I WILL BE ABLE TO surely make the official announcement," she said stressing upon the truth that it'd be a fascinating"" announcement.

She, however, denied rumours of Reliance Entertainment producing her directorial venture saying: "I'VE written another film which was brought by Reliance. My directorial venture is probably not produced by Reliance as of now."

After writing the screenplays for films like Dhoka and Murder 2, she felt direction was the following obvious step.

"I desired to get into direction since past three years. Whilst you write screenplays, you write about visuals and other details. And whilst you see another person directing your work, you are inclined to feel you could have done it better," she said.
