How cool is this.
“Sarfraz and I were at the London premiere of Bruce’s film The Promise in 2010 when we actually bumped into him on the red carpet. He said he had read his book* and that he thought it was amazing and, while Sarfraz was still fainting with joy, I quickly told him about the film we wanted to make.
“Bruce said: ‘Sounds good,’ and told us to talk to his manager, Jon Landau. Then we had to start developing a script we felt was good enough. Without the blessing of Bruce, Jon, and his other manager, Barbara Carr, there’d be no music and so no film.”
*Greetings from Bury Park by Sarfraz Manzoor (2007)

I'm also a fan of the films of Gurinder Chadha. Really looking forward to seeing this when finished. And might just check the book meantime.
