Vishal
Bhardwaj
whose
film
The
Blue
Umbrella
is
releasing
on
August
10
has
decided
to
put
his
international
war
epic
on
hold.
"I'm
working
on
a
few
scripts.
As
for
the
World
War
2
film,
yes
it's
very
much
on.
But
the
film
requires
a
huge
canvas,
huge
budget
and
an
international
cast.
The
casting
is
taking
a
helluva
lot
of
time...much
longer
than
we
thought.
I'm
still
in
negotiation
with
actors
from
Hollywood."
Has
Uma
Thurman
been
approached?
"Yes
Uma
Thurman
has
been
approached.
But
she
hasn't
made
up
her
mind.
I'm
letting
the
producer
go
ahead
with
the
casting
of
the
WW2
film
while
I'm
going
ahead
with
another
film
because
I
need
to
get
back
behind
the
camera
in
December
2007
or
January
2008."
Vishal
has
zeroed
in
a
subject.
"It
will
be
a
film
without
songs,
a
very
real
docu-drama
kind
of
subject."
This
would
be
Vishal's
first
songless
film.
"How
will
I
make
a
film
without
music?
I'll
worry
about
the
impact
when
it's
released.
Right
now
I
just
want
to
do
the
film
that
has
come
to
my
mind."
About
The
Blue
Umbrella
he
says,
"I'm
not
stressed
about
this
film.
Because
it's
a
very
simple
and
innocent
story.
No
one
can
hate
The
Blue
Umbrella.
I'm
not
worried
about
my
credibility.
Of
course
it
was
made
before
Omkara.
So
I've
matured
since
then.
The
Blue
Umbrella
was
made
in
a
different
frame
of
mind."
