New Delhi [India], April 29 : The biographical drama Costao, which stars Nawazuddin Siddiqui, will mark Sejal Shah's debut as a director.
In a conversation with ANI, Shah shared why she chose Costao for her first film and spoke about the experience of working on the project.
"It's a dream for anyone to be a part of such a project because I was very lucky to have found such a fantastic story. Then Nawazuddin agreeing to do it, and when Vinod Bhanushali came on board as a producer--there was a lot of pressure, but I never felt that pressure from any of them. Also, the best part was that there was a lot of creative freedom. So, we really got to do the project with creative integrity," Shah told ANI.
The trailer for the Siddiqui-starrer Costao was unveiled earlier this month.
Set against the backdrop of 1990s Goa, Costao tells the story of a customs officer who dares to defy an empire built on smuggling, corruption, and fear. Nawazuddin portrays "Costao Fernandes--a sharp, unconventional enforcer whose bold tactics and unrelenting pursuit of justice put him at odds with both the criminal underworld and the very system he serves."
