'There are so many films I want to make...'
Sinha is currently in the process of finalizing ideas for his next project. He told the outlet, "There are so many films I want to make set in India of the 1940s." "It was an outstanding phase. I finished reading The Case for India by Will Durant, who visited the country in the 1930s." "It's a beautiful book. After finishing it, I thought to myself, 'There are so many films in this.'"
