Muzaffar Ali whose last feature film was the Shabana Azmi-helmed 1986 drama Anjuman on the life of Chikhan weavers in Uttar Pradesh, is now all set to return to his favourite location—the Awadh districts of Uttar Pradesh—for a period film set in 1877. It’s a story of a <em>tawaif</em> and a <em>nawab</em>. But it isn’t a sequel to <em>Umrao Jaan</em>, as reported widely.
