Can't wait to shoot in Kashmir, says Ali Fazal

Mumbai, July 5 (IANS) After the release of his latest Bollywood film "Bobby Jasoos", actor Ali Fazal has something joyous to look forward to - shooting "Khamoshiyan" in Kashmir, a destination he has been curious to explore.

Ali would soon be shooting for "Khamoshiyan", directed by newcomer Karan Dara. The young actor says he has always longed to go to the picturesque valley.

"I've never visited Kashmir. My father went to college in Srinagar. I was waiting for a chance to visit the city and the valley that my parents speak so fondly of."

Ali was thrilled when his producer Mukesh Bhatt announced that "Khamoshiyan" would be shot in Kashmir.

"We will be shooting for 15 days in September in Kashmir. I can't wait to get to Kashmir. Shooting for 'Khamoshiyan' is such a learning experience. Mahesh Bhatt sahab comes regularly on the sets. Vikram Bhatt is there. It's like being in cinema school. I enjoy shooting with my co-star Sapna Pabbi.

"I am yet to shoot with Gurmeet Chowdhary. I don't have many scenes with him."

Ali's next release is the Rohan Sippy-produced "Sonali Cable".

About the title, he said: "After two films - 'Bobby Jasoos' and 'Sonali Cable' - named after the leading lady, I am hoping one of my films would be named after the male lead."
