Shabana  Azmi To Work With  Farhan Akhtar On A Webseries

Shabana Azmi  would be working with Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani of Excel Entertainment  for the  first time on a webseries to be  directed by Shonali Bose  of Margarita With A  Straw fame.

Shabana  was Shonali’s first choice for the  role.She even  asked Farhan  to put in a  word. Shabana  loves  her role. The only problem is,  Shabana’s  dates  that  Shonali needs  are clashing with Steven Spielberg’s Halo Season 2.

“Shabana is trying her best to work around the dates clash. Halo is a commitment she made long before she  was  offered  Shonali’s  series,” says  a source  in the know. “But she is excited  about  working with Shonali for the  first time,and  her son Farhan the second time.”

Shabana had been directed by Farhan in   a memorable short film co-starring Boman Irani.
