The canvas of her life is too big to be contained in one film," the writer-director said.<br /><br />"It will be in Hinglish," Shah said, adding that the film will have no songs and will be different from a Bollywood-style movie.<br /><br />Shah's direction credits include films like 'Hard Rock Zombies', 'American Drive-In', 'Cinema Cinema' and 'Shalimar'.<br /><br />The 42-year-old Dixit is known for her roles in blockbusters like 'Beta', Tezab', 'Dil' and Devdas'. Her last Bollywood film was 'Aaja Nach Le', which did not do well at the box-office. She lives in the US with her doctor husband Shriram Nene and two sons Arin and Raayan.
