Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi to shoot his next in North India

Oscar-nominated Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi will be shooting his next film in North India.
TitledFloating Gardens, Majidi reveals that the movie, being made in English, is a powerful, dramatic film based on human values. He says, “After I finish the post-production of my current film, Prophet Muhammad, in Munich, I look forward to visiting India and starting the pre-production and casting for my next movie.”
The director, renowned for movies like Children of Heaven, Baran and The Song of Sparrows (which opened the Vishakhapatnam International Film Festival in 2008), is eager to work here.“I’ve always wanted to shoot in India as I feel Iran and India have the same cultural sensibilities,” he explains.
Shareen Mantri Kedia, producer, Eye Candy Films, says,“ We are proud to be associated as producers of this film. Majidi is a universally loved director known for his simplistic narratives and inspiring dramas. We are confident that he will capture the essence of North India with his unique vision and feel for emotional values in a beautiful manner.”
