The Haider director has adapted three Shakespearean tragedies in his career
After completing the trilogy of William Shakespeare’s tragedies, Haider director Vishal Bhardwaj is keen to give a big screen spin to Bard’s comedies.
The 49-year-old director first adapted Maqbool (2003) from Macbeth, then Omkara based on Othello and more recently Haider on Hamlet.
“I can live my whole life working on Shakespeare’s plays. I was very tempted to make King Lear (a tragedy) but I chose to make Hamlet over it. I have a plot of King Lear with me but if I go back to Shakespeare, I would like to do three comedies now,” he said on the sidelines of NFDC’s Film Bazaar.
The ace director said unlike today’s slapstick comedies, his light-hearted films will be different. ”I will be doing serious comedies. I will do it seriously. I won’t be joking around. I will do it very passionately,” he said. Vishal said Shakespeare played a very important role in his life because he read the playwright late in his life.
