It
was
reported
earlier
this
month
that
filmmaker
Deepa
Mehta
has
signed
Soha
Ali
Khan
for
her
upcoming
movie
Midnight"s
Children,
which
is
based
on
a
novel
with
the
same
title
by
renowned
author
Salman
Rushdie.
Now,
it
is
reported
that
the
controversial
author
had
recently
come
down
to
Mumbai
to
meet
the
actress.
Soha
was
very
excited
to
meet
the
Booker
Prize
winner
author
Salman
Rushdie,
as
she
was
going
to
act
in
the
film
based
on
his
novel.
In
fact,
she
was
very
happy
when
she
got
an
important
role
in
this
international
project.
An
industry
source
was
quoted
saying
that
both
the
actress
and
the
author
bonded
well
when
they
met
few
days
back.
Rushdie
was
also
very
happy
to
know
that
Soha
has
been
signed
for
a
role
in
the
movie.
He
met
her
to
discuss
the
novel,
her
character
and
its
cinematic
adaptation.
Filmmaker
Deepa
has
always
kept
Salman
in
the
loop,
as
she
knows
that
he
would
love
to
know
about
the
developments.
Midnight"s
Children
is
one
of
the
best
works
by
the
author
and
he
wants
to
see
all
the
developments
before
the
shooting
starts.
Confirming
the
news,
Soha
said
that
she
thoroughly
enjoyed
the
author"s
company
when
they
met.
She
was
delighted
to
know
his
perspectives
and
discussing
things
with
him.
She
claimed
to
be
a
huge
fan
of
Rushdie
and
informed
that
'Midnight"s
Children" is
one
of
her
favourite
books.
We
hope
Soha
has
taken
some
tips
about
her
character
from
the
author
and
it
will
help
her
to
enact
the
role
perfectly.
