Riding on a high after the twin super successes of Jodhaa Akbar and Singh is Kinng, actor Sonu Sood is set to play a taxi driver in Dubai for his first multi-lingual feature film being writer, director, producer Ali F Mostafa and is titled, City of Life.

"This film is a Hollywood venture and revolves around three characters - a privileged Emirati man, a less fortunate and disillusioned Indian taxi driver and a western woman.

I play the taxi driver named Basu who runs a taxi in Dubai and wants to become an actor. The three never meet, yet they change each other's lives.

It explores the complex network that exists in an emerging multicultural society's race, ethnicity and class divide; and it examines how random interactions and their consequences can irrevocably impact another's life." informs Sonu.

"The film will go on floors in Febrauary 2009. The film will be in Arabic, Hindi and English and will be shot entirely in the UAE, with a predominantly UAE-based cast and crew." he further adds.

Director Ali F Mostafa is a graduate of the London Film School and won the Best Emirati Filmmaker award at DIFF 2007 for his graduation film Under the Sun.

The cast also includes Hollywood actors Alexandra Maria Lara, who starred in Control and is working in Spike Lee's next film, and Natalie Dormer, who played Anne Boleyn in The Tudors. Arab stars such as Emirati Saoud Al Ka'abi, well-known comedian Ahmed Ahmed and Canadian/Iraqi hip hop star The Narcicyst will play pivotal roles.

City of Life is co-produced by Dubai-based production company Filmworks. The film is expected to be premiered at DIFF 2009.
