Saiyami Kher, niece of actress Tanvi Azmi and granddaughter of yesteryear actress Usha Kiran has been finalised to play Sahibaan in Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra’s Mirza (working title). The stunning model who has done a South film called Rey will make her debut with the immortal love story set in contemporary times. “Yes we have Harshwardhan Kapoor and Saiyami Kher in the lead. Saiyami has been with us for the last couple of months and she been working on the character and so has Harshwardhan. We are still a couple of months away from shooting as we start in mid-September and the shooting will take place mostly in Rajasthan. But we have taken the tragic love story of the ancient folklore and interpreted it in a contemporary manner with maybe just a sprinkling of that era,” said Mehra.
Shankar Ehsaan Loy have just completed the music, which has turned out to be interesting, according to the film-maker, as writer-lyricist-director Gulzar is at the helm of it. “He has written the story, screenplay and the lyrics, so the songs have been woven beautifully into the screenplay. The fact that it is a musical, takes the film to another level altogether,” said Mehra.
