Star director signs up to French Opera

His last big-hit blockbuster movie, the period drama ‘Devdas’ was the reason behind the Theatre du Chatelet’s appraoch to the leading star, the Times of India reported.
“It’s an honour”, he said after news of his impending opera was revealed.
“It’s a very exhilirating and exciting prospect to use my operatic vision on stage. I’m already very nervous. It’s a very lavish production, involving a huge cast and production values,” he added.
Bhansali will join the likes of Yimou Zhang, director of ‘House of Flying Daggers’, and Woody Allen in producing operas for the theatre.
