Salaam Bombay star Shafiq Syed can no longer complain that life's dull it's actually the stuff of movies, says scriptwriter Vivek Shukla who plans to make a film on him.
u00a0Meera Nair has invited Shafiq for the re-release of Salaam Bombay in Mumbai. "She called me on Tuesday night. I was surprised to receive her call and asked her how she could forget her son for so many years. Didi simply said that she did not have my contact number. I think she will re-release Salaam Bombay in May, and she asked me to be there," Shafiq said.
Shafiq has heard from Nair after 12 long years. "Twelve years ago, I had gone tou00a0 Khajuraho to meet Didi where she was shooting Kamasutra. I asked her for a technician's job, but no job was available," he said.
