Shonali’s top pick for the position was Shabana. She even requested that Farhan add a word. Shabana has delighted in her job. The only issue is that Steven Spielberg’s Halo Season 2 conflicts with Shabana’s dates that Shonali requires.
Shabana is doing her best to find a way to avoid the conflicting dates. She committed to Halo before being offered Shonali’s series, according to a source in the know. But she is eager to collaborate with her son Farhan for the second time and with Shonali for the first time.
Farhan earlier helmed Shabana in the remarkable short film Positive, which also starred Boman Irani.
