Hyderabad, April 13:
Buoyed by the response Meenaxi — A Tale of Three Cities — has been receiving, M F Husain will be making a new film. And this time it’s going to be a comedy. “Husain Sahib, aap aur comedy?†“Kyun? Why not. I have always liked comedy. But not the wordy duels and attacks. I prefer action comedy, the Charlie Chaplin type,†says the legendry artist who is in the city in connection with the opening of an exhibition of his paintings.
And who will be the muse this time? “That hasn’t been decided yet. I am still working on the script,†says Husain. As in the case of Gajagamini and Meenaxi, the concept and writing for the comedy film will be by Husain himself says it would not be satire. “I don’t like assaults or lampooning of a person or system. It would be plain and wholesome entertainment, of course in my style,†says he.
Husain, who calls himself “the son-in-law of Hyderabad,†finds a great change in the city. There was little art activity those day and it was not his type. “The art of those days was different. It was mostly portraits of Nawabs and Rajas. I didn’t do portraits and also I had no access to the courts of the big men . If I had done that type of work I, too, would have become a Court Painter,†he says jokingly.

Looks like, Meenaxi is doing better than he expected. No one expected Meenaxi to be a Blockbuster. Meenaxi was targetted at certain audience. Looks like, MF Hussain succeeded there.
