Farhan Akhtar is all set to make a period film, which’s shooting will start next year. His script based on the evolution of the telephone. Irrfan Khan will play the lead.

Irrfan shares,I’m in serious talks with Farhan for a film that he’ll direct next year. It’s a period film. “It’s a very interesting script about the evolution of the telephone medium as a means of communication. I am really excited about that. Although I’ve done a ‘period-less’ film called ‘Warrior’, I’ve never done a period film before. And in fact I’ve been offered another period film a true-life thriller about a royal Bengali family by Homi Adjania.
