"The film is about M.F. Husain and his struggle in life - right from his birth up to the age of 40. I am trying to acquire all the necessary information about him through DVDs, books and audio CDs given by him," said Shreyas.
"Also, I am trying to spend quality time with him to get to know him better and to be able to do complete justice to his character in the film. I want to incorporate his style of painting."
Shreyas has quite a few films in the pipeline - "Apna Sapna Money Money", "Pirate" and "The Hangman".
"'Pirate' directed by Priyadarshan is about audio music piracy. As for the star cast, I am not too sure about Deepika Padukone but Kunal Khemu is definitely there.
"I'm also doing Vishal Bhandari's 'The Hangman' where I am playing Om Puri's son. It's about a father's (Om) dream to see his son as a successful police officer. We are planning an international release for this film," he added.
