A Bollywood director is making a film on the al- Qaeda network and the attacks on London's underground system, a report said on Friday.
The film will, however, not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States, and it is still not clear if the group's leader, Osama bin Laden, will be characterised in the movie, a news daily said.
The makers of Mission Istanbul have signed actors from various countries including Turkey who have a strong resemblance to some well-known al Qaeda members, the paper said.
"It has to be shot in Turkey, Afghanistan, Srinagar and Mumbai," filmmaker Apoorva Lakhia, who has just completed a film on a true incident of a shootout between Indian police and gangsters, was quoted as saying.
Lakhia is now seeking permission to shoot in Afghanistan, but says he can replicate the Afghan terrain in a western desert state in India if he was not allowed to shoot in the war-ravaged nation.
A few other Bollywood filmmakers are also tackling the issue of international terrorism, including another on the 2005 suicide attacks on London's transport system which killed 52 commuters.
