Far from being daunted by the mixed reviews for her husband Shirish Kunder's debut film Jaan-e-Mann
Farah is about to do what she wanted to for a long time.
She has left for ten-day vacation with her husband to Australia. "We both need to unwind and then return to
our work. My next film Om Shanti Om is well into the end of its post-production. Shirish too is about to
zero- in on his next project. Once we're back we'll both get going with no time at all to even look at each
other."
Farah and Shirish join up with Shah Rukh Khan who's currently in Australia shooting hockey matches with
director Shimit Amin for Chak De.
"We'll spend four days with Shah Rukh and then cruise down
the Gold Coast all on our own. We need this time together. We didn't even get time to have a proper
honeymoon. We had just three days together. We owe each other this time together," said Farah before
leaving.
Back home a 1.5 crore rupee set depicting Mumbai in the 1970s is being erected for Farah's film featuring
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone.
"Om Shanti Om will be a very tough and expensive film.
I'm preparing for a long battle ahead. But the comforting thought is, Shah Rukh's presence. He's and
Deepika will make as much of a rocking pair as SRK and Sushmita in Main Hoon Na."
Incidentally Farah was surprised to get a call from none other than Mukesh Bhatt. "When he said Shirish's
was the best directorial debut he had seen in the last forty-five years my day was made. Mukeshji had
nothing to gain by saying this. We aren't working together. He didn't have to. But he did."
Farah has just choreographed a song for her brother Sajid's film Hey Baby. "But I don't know if I can do
other songs for him. Once I get busy with my own film I won't have time."
