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.
