WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE - BOLLYWOOD TO MAKE TWO SHAKESPEARE FILMS

Indian movie interpretations of two classic WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE plays are in production, despite the 2003 disappointment of MAQBOOL, which was loosely based on MACBETH. Director VISHAL BHARADWAJ is filming OMKARA - his version of OTHELLO - starring SAIF ALI KHAN, KAREENA KAPOOR and AJAY DEVGAN. Also set for production is a film by ONIR, who just completed the script for his version of HAMLET.
