He confirmed the news to the same publication by saying,“I have had a lot of people come up to me and ask me when am I going to adapt a Shakespearean comedy for the big screen. The first film in the trilogy will be based on the Twelfth Night. The film will be called Chaudhvin Ki Raat. I want to throw light on the politics, culture and music of contemporary India.” While the script and the title are in place, the Haider director claimed to be in a tizzy on finalising a female who would be able to play the role of twins, a boy and a girl. This will be the very first time in Indian cinema that an actress would portray both a boy and a girl. Vishal also added that he will be joining hands with Gulzar for this film. Gulzar has been part of most of his films in the past too.
