Manoj Kumar is all set to return to direction with a film called DNA Report. This would be Kumar's first directorial venture since the badly-received Clerk in 1989. Informs the veteran director, "I haven't been able to make any film because of my back problem. But now my script is ready. It's a film called DNA Report. It's about how a man becomes a victim of a DNA test when he has never had any emotional or physical relationship with a woman. Then how does the DNA report say he's the father of the woman's child? This is a subject I've never been into." Says Manoj Kumar regretfully, "I don't have the comfort of working with Manoj Kumar the actor anymore. He is capable of telling home truths in the most understated manner. So I've to select from the stars today. It's an expensive film. I have zeroed in on an actor.

It’s surprising that a country like India that counts politics amongst its major obsessions - others being cricket and Bollywood - doesn’t really get to see many films chronicling and reflecting its robust political culture. Films and cricket may have found perfect partners in each other in form of the Indian Premier League, but the Indian Political League and films, like oil and water, don’t mix. One reason could be that filmmaking is a high risk business and filmmakers avoid running into trouble with one political party or the other, or - not to be ignored - the mighty censor board. The other reason lies in the inability of the current lot of directors to grapple with the intricacies of the subject matter – I shudder to think what kind of a film would Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Politics’ be!
But Prakash Jha is a politician himself, albeit a failed one.
