Urmila Fida's new pick

After Madhuri Dixit and Tabu , M F Husain has set his sights on Urmila Matondkar , who will star in a film directed by the octogenarian painter.

Speaking to reporters at the launch of a painting exhibition at the National Gallery of Modern Art here on Wednesday, Husain said that his third film - the first was with Madhuri and the second with Tabu - would be a comedy.

The painter said that he chose Urmila since "her body language conveys something very funny. Her face has that kind of expression".

Insisting that his new film would be a comedy with a difference, Husain said "humour is a very serious aspect and real humour is when people are brought to tears after a bout of laughter".

He remarked that his film would not be a loud slapstick comedy but would draw inspiration from everyday life.
