Shakespeare, first shots and a cinematic universe of spies: Vishal Bhardwaj on 'Khufiya'

Shakespeare, first shots and a cinematic universe of spies: Vishal Bhardwaj on 'Khufiya'

New Delhi, Oct 5 (PTI) The man behind "Maqbool", "Omkara" and "Haider" says he's a little troubled by Shakespeare's imprint on his work and might wait another 10 years to get back to the bard. But the Vishal Bhardwaj-William Shakespeare connect might just be too strong for that.

A scene in Bhardwaj's latest film "Khufiya", an espionage thriller, has a scene showing a theatrical production of "Julius Caesar".

A possible hat tip to Shakespeare in a film about betrayal? "It wasn't by design," Bhardwaj told PTI in an interview.
