"Its my wish to cast Amitabh Bachchan and Farhan Akhtar for the film. As I feel both have great sense of music. According to me both are perfect for the film. Once I am done with the scripting process, I would definitely go and approach them. Its a dream cast," he said.

Sharma has grown up in a music environment which was one of the prime reasons, he was inspired to make a film on this theme.

"I come from the family of music.. legendary singer Mukesh is my grandfather. I always wanted to do a film on music. I was working on this film along with 'Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana'," he said.

Sharma hopes to finish the scripting process in a month’s time and is likely to begin work this year itself. If all goes well, this will be Sharma second film as a director.

He made his debut last year with Anurag Kashyap film starring Kunal Kapoor and Huma Qureshi in lead roles. The film did average business at the box office.
