I’m doing nothing: Anusha Rizvi (Movie Snippets)

NEW DELHI - Still basking in the astounding success of her debut venture “Peepli Live”, journalist-turned-director Anusha Rizvi is, as of now, busy doing “nothing”.

“I am doing nothing. I am just hanging around. I just got out of this thing (’Peepli Live’) and I’m setting my house and getting into a relaxed mode (for sometime) and doing nothing,” Rizvi told IANS.

“Getting into a whole creative process takes time, so it’ll happen,” she added.

Produced by superstar Aamir Khan, “Peepli Live”, a political satire about farmer suicides in India scorched the screens and also won kudos across the world festival circuit.

Dusky beauty Nandita Das is on a different high — motherhood — and is taking a “break” for her first born Vihaan with industrialist husband Subodh Maskara till she calls the shots for her next directorial venture.

“I am taking a break as of now. I am totally focusing on Vihaan and enjoying motherhood as they say. It’s beautiful,” Nandita told IANS.

“I’ll be operating from home though. I am the chairperson of CFSI (Children’s Film Society of India), so I can’t really ignore my duties,” she added.

Having wielded the megaphone for critically-acclaimed political thriller “Firaaq”, the actress-turned-director’s next project is on human trafficking.

“It is an agreement that I have signed. We are still in the scripting stage. It is a huge project on human trafficking. It is another story that needs to be told. We have been in talks since last November. But pre-production will start only in March next year,” she said.
