Mahmood Rahman & Meesha Shafi Lending Music to ‘The Reluctant Fundamentalist’

November 20, 2011

You have probably already heard about Meesha Shafi‘s inclusion as an actor in Mira Nair‘s Hollywood venture “The Reluctant Fundamentalist” but there’s more to it: Mahmood Rahman and Meesha Shafi will also be lending music to the film. Mahmood has produced the track himself while Meesha powered it up with her vocals.

This was speculated because it’s only seldom that a musician-turned-actor doesn’t provide music for the film he’s starring in. The co-star “Rizwan Ahmed” also known as Riz MC, who is playing the lead role of Changez, is also a musicians-turned-actor from UK. So, I’ll be surprised not to hear his music in the film.

Reluctant Fundamentalist’s Delhi schedule started this month with most of the scenes being shot with actors Liev Schreiber, Kiefer Sutherland and Riz Ahmed. Meesha also shot some of her scenes with Riz Ahmed at Humayun’s Tomb and with Canadian actor Kiefer Sutherland.

According to TOI, the next leg of filming is scheduled near Ajmeri Gate. They have already filmed in Nehru Place, Khan Market, Noida and other areas of the Capital. It will also be shot in New York and Istanbul.

The movie also stars Om Puri, Shabana Azmi along with Hollywood actor Kate Hudson and is slated to be out next year.

Below are some of the set pictures:
