India and Pakistan may be fighting on the Loc in Jammu and Kashmir but in theatre Mahesh Bhatt is there to find a common ground between the two by producing a joint venture play, Milne Do.
The play - an intense love story between two culturally crossed individuals during times of abject hatred - is aimed at promoting the core message of 'Aman ki asha'.
The lead role will be played by actor Imran Zahid along with an actress from Pakistan, who is yet to be finalized. Imran is also playing as the lead in the theatre adaptation of Bhatt's Arth.
Two bands belonging to respective countries will also perform live when the play tours cities like Kolkata, Delhi, Mumbai, Karachi, Islamabad and Lahore to begin with. Later, it will also travel to other cities of the two countries. While Pakistani band Laal has been confirmed, its Indian counterpart is yet to be finalized.
This will be Mahesh Bhatt's fourth play after The Last Salute, Trial of Errors and Arth.
