 Entitled Me Raqsam(I Dance) the  film is being shot currently at Mijwan , Shabana and Baba’s father the eminent  poet Kaifi Azmi’s native village.

Speaking  from Mijwan the proud and happy sister Shabana says, “I’m in Mijwan with my sister-in-law Tanve(Baba’s husband) .The  District Magistrate of  Azamgarh gave the muhurat clap for Baba’s feature film Mee Raqsam ( I Dance) . It’s being shot in a start to finish schedule in Mijwan with 14 yr old resident of Mijwan Aditi Sharma playing the protagonist. Danish Husain plays her father. I is the  story of a humble tailor who fights all odds to fulfil his daughter’s dream to become a dancer. Once Abba (father Kaifi Azmi) had asked Baba in passing if a film could be shot in Mijwan. In Kaifi’s centenary year Baba pays the most fitting tribute to his father’s desire.”
