The movie has been directed by debutante Chetan Morada, an ad filmmaker, and Mishal, who is best known for playing Dutta Bhau in daily soap `Laagi Tujhse Lagan`, says the film should hit theaters in three months. "I have been shooting my debut feature film for almost last three years. I am very excited about it. Fingers crossed. The shooting is complete. Just the dubbing and post production work is left. The film should be ready for release by the next two-three months," Mishal said. The film also stars New York-based actress Khatera Hakimi, who has been part of filmmaker Hyder Bilgrami`s romantic thriller `Pyar Mein Kyun`. Actor Vijay Raaz plays an important role in the movie.

 

 

Mishal started his career in 2005 with the show `Pyar Vyar and All That`. He then starred in `Love Story`, which was produced by Bollywood`s ace director Anurag Basu. When asked if he would like to work with Basu again, Mishal said, "I would do anything to work in Anurag Basu`s film. After `Barfi` It is up there on top of my wish list." The actor will next don the role of a cop in crime series `Encounter` which traces the lives of larger than life, fictional gangsters. "This is a very different way of storytelling. Usually we see that such stories are told from a gangsters` viewpoint.

 

But in `Encounter` the story is told from the point of view of a cop. It is about him, his family, his background. You get to do every ting- action, romance," he said. Having starred mostly in daily soaps, Mishal, who was last seen on the small screen in a cameo role in `Punar Vivah`, said it was a refreshing change for him to work in a show like `Encounter`."Working in such series is very exciting because it is very pacy, unlike daily soaps which have 200-300 episodes. The shooting takes place just like a film. I shot for 15 days for the three-day series, so it was not at all time consuming," the actor said.
