If there is one filmmaker who can give 'real' competition to Madhur Bhandarkar in terms of hard hitting 'realistic' movies, then, it is indeed Sudhir Mishra, the man who gave Bollywood closest-to-reality films like Dharavi, Is Raat Ki Subah Nahin, Chameli, Hazaron Khwaishein Aisi, and many more.
Quite recently, a tabloid wrote about him saying that he is planning to make a movie on the famous human rights activist Dr. Binayak Sen, with Kay Kay Menon in the lead. When Bollywood Hungama spoke to him to confirm the same, he said, "Since Dr. Binayak Sen is in jail at present, any decision about the film on him will be done only after he gives his consent."
Sudhir Mishra is also planning to direct a period comedy film. "It's a period but comic film called Nawab The Nautch Girl and the John Company. Set in 1850's, the film is about a madcap Nawab and his obsessive love for a Nautch girl. It's also about a man who pretends to be a hero and has to live up to the myth of being a hero!" Mishra adds, "It's too early to talk about the starcast, but I am hoping to have Irrfan Khan alongwith Chitrangada Singh as its lead pair."
Meanwhile, Mishra is ready with Tera Kya Hoga Johnny, which he is planning to release in October. It stars Neil Nitin Mukesh, Karan Nath, K.K. Menon and Soha Ali Khan alongwith noted directors turning actors Anurag Kashyap and Aditya Bhattacharya. Tera Kya Hoga Johnny deals with Mishra's favourite subject 'Mumbai'! "The film is about a character Johnny, who sells coffee on the streets of Mumbai for a living. The film also has Sikandar a 13-year old protagonist who also played an important role in the film, Shadows of Time.
