The Making of Om Shanti Om- Cover Revealed!!!


Finally it can be told. Yes my blogo-addicts. You have been asking, questioning, prodding and sometimes even sounding curt about why I have not been seen on blog space. Now the truth can be told. Honestly speaking I have been totally tied with the designing of the new book that is soon to hit your nearest book stand.
But like all good things I hope this was worth the wait. I am talking about my next book, “Making of Om Shanti Om”. This book becomes even more special because I have written the screenplay of the film along with director Farah Khan. This cracker of a film I always believed deserved a book to freeze it forever on your book shelves. And I am thankful to Allah that I have finally given it shape and it’s in the final stage of production. Just a word of assurance this book too reflects the colour, the masala, the glamour, the highs and lows of Bollywood movies like my other books spell of.
The Making of Om Shanti Om is my tribute to Farha and her brand of movies. Her movies are about happiness, celebration and living it up. My book attempts to catch the movie, the stars, the technicians all in the aura of making a movie that is actually about the movies.
All you guys have been asking me when it’s going to release. The date is yet not finalized but I think we are looking at a week after release of the film. Keep watching this space for more. Keep you posted the first when I freeze on the date. The ones who are impatient can get on the official site of my publisher and order for the book online on http://www.om-books.com/The others can keep reading here what the latest on the Om Shanti Om front. And if you have anything to share with me that related to oso. Go ahead make my day. Leave you to savour the cover which is freshly landed in my hands. It's an exclusive for all my blogoaddicts. Wow isn't it a jaw dropper or what? So what if I am saying so myself.

Enjoy

LOL, this time you're too late, Mushtaq. One whole day, in fact. Your book incarnated on the order page before you could say "OM"!
I (and all the rest of the bunch) ordered it, got the confirmation, and I was told that I'll have the book in my hands on the 20th. Good, na?
Fast stars and fast Shiekhspeares do have fast fans - you ought to know by now ;)))))))

enjoy your release party!
