After Ang Lee's brave attempt, it is Shamim Sarif's turn to try her hand at alternate sexuality. The author of award-winning 'The World Unseen' is all set to direct a film Can't Think Straight', which will star none other than Water nymph Lisa Ray as a lebian.

She has also got Aseem Bajaj on board as the cinematographer.

Aseem who has just finished shooting a comedy, Gol Maal, says, "When Shamim approached me to shoot her film I wasn't too sure initially. She was making a film on the sensitive issue of lesbianism.

But I'm impressed by her work, she's a sensitive writer. I'm sure she'll make a sensistive film on alternate sexuality. As a cinematographer, this project offers me a challenge."

Sarif, who is of Indian origin, was born in the UK. She spent a large chunk of her growing years in South Africa and now resides in London with her same-sex partner Hanan.
