Om Puri set to do West Is West

We all know Om Puri very well. He is our most internationally engaged actor and is all set to do another international film after Mike Nichol's Charlie Wilson's War. It's a continuation to one of his most successful international films, East Is East.
Almost a decade later, while that film was set in London and showed him and his screen-wife Linda Bassett trying to manage with a household of hybridized Pak-British children, the sequel, West Is West moves to Pakistan and a different enriching susceptibility. However, the film will not be shot in Pakistan because the producers will not get the permission. He also said that they would shoot West Is West either in India or Morocco.
This time the hero, George Khan (Puri) will take his two sons to Pakistan. George's family in London has already been tattered apart.
The children have gone. Only two sons remain. So he decided to take them to Pakistan. The elder one went to get married and the youngest to earn some taalim in his familial land. While Damien O’Donnell directed East Is East, the sequel, which begins, shooting early next year, will have an Indian director. The producers suggested Mani Ratnam but he felt that he makes serious films and may miss the satirical thrust, so he suggested Farhan Akhtar instead. In fact, he has sent Farhan the script and he seems interested. All they need to do is to work out the schedule to his convenience.
