Pankaj Kapur has finally agreed to direct his first ever movie, Mausam, starring son Shahid.

Produced by Religare Vistaar Entertainment, the movie promises to be a romantic entertainer, which will be shot in UK, Italy, India, Spain and Austria. Shahid will start shooting for it in the last week of January 2010. Shahid has been asking his father to direct the movie for ages and would have liked it to be his launch vehicle, but Pankaj likes working at his own speed. The film’s screenplay has been written by Pankaj Kapur himself and it spreads out over 10 years.

A newcomer will be roped in for the female lead in Mausam. The producers of the movie want a girl with a fresh face and a novel look.
