Jag Mundhra focuses on British Muslim community <\/h3>\n
\"\"BOLLYWOOD director Jag Mundhra has revealed his next film focuses on the affects the 7\/7 bombings had on the British Muslim community.<\/strong> <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The veteran director who led an all-star cast in the true life film\u00a0\u2018Provoked\u2019 a few months ago, told Reuters his film \u2018Shoot on Sight\u2019 follows the account of a Pakistani boy who is shot dead by police.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“My film is about the recent terrorist attacks in London,” Mundhra told Reuters.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

“In my film I show a Pakistani boy being killed because he looked like a terrorist.”<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Mundhra has assembled an impressive Indian and non-Indian cast for the film including British stars Brian Cox, Sadie Frost, and Laila Rouass. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Veteran character actor Naseeruddin Shah plays the central role of a British Muslim policeman, with Greta Scacchi as his wife.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The film presents Shah as a moderate Muslim who regularly prays at the mosque and who is married to a Christian. But worshippers at the mosque do not trust him because he is seen as part of the British establishment and the police turn him into a spokesman to show that that they are not targeting Muslims.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The film is expected to be released early next year. <\/div>\n
