"My next film, 'Sinhasan' is based on emperor Aurangzeb's conflict with his father Shah Jahan for the throne. I have adapted the story in a modern-day context and I have set it against the backdrop of politics in the corporate world.

"A film like 'Sinhasan' has never been made in India before," Gupta, who has proved his worth as a writer with 2005 film "Sarkar", told IANS.

Asked about the star cast of the film, he said: "I haven't signed anyone as yet. And I can't reveal the names on my wish list either as actors do not appreciate being named at a preliminary stage. When I officially sign the actors, I'll make an announcement."

He believes that the thin line between an actor and a star has blurred.

"Today, there are stars who are actors and actors who are stars. I can work with an actor who may not be a star. But I can't work with a star who can't act. Such stars may bring in substantial commercial success, but that's not my motive behind making films," he said.
