Director Anubhav Sinha says filmmaker Shoojit Sircar loved the narrative of his forthcoming courtroom drama "Mulk". Sinha makes it a point to narrate all his films to his industry friends for their opinions before he starts shooting and casting for a film. He arranged for a special reading session for Sircar for "Mulk".
"Shoojit actually said this was one of his favourite films of mine," Sinha said in a statement to IANS. "He loved the narrative so much that he requested me not to reconsider the film," he added. The teaser of the film shows Rishi Kapoor playing a character called Murad Ali Mohammed, accused of treason. Actress Taapsee Pannu plays his defence lawyer Aarti Mohammed.
