Rajkumar Santoshi plans a film on a book 
By IndiaFM News Bureau, December 31, 2007 - 11:35 IST
Filmmaker Raj Kumar Santoshi would be making a film based on Dr Asghar Wajahat's book ‘Jis Lahore Nahin Dekhiya, O Jamian He Nahin’.
The book, whose story is based on partition has a strong message of peaceful co-existence and has already been adapted into a successful play, having completed many shows.
Santoshi, who in the past has given us hard-hitting films like Ghayal, Ghatak, Damini and The Legend of Bhagat Singh apparently, had meetings with Dr Asghar Wajahat to discuss his plans, as he was really impressed by the book.
The movie would start rolling once Santoshi is done with his other big budget films like Ashoka and Ramayana.
Meanwhile Santoshi’s next release Halla Bol starring Ajay Devgan, Vidya Balan and Pankaj Kapur in lead roles releases on Jan 11 next year.
