"It is interesting whole new concept that Earth without water. As soon as, I got the news that NASA discovered water on Mercury I became excited that Mercury will play a major role in the movie. It will be rescuer for the actor and actress who would settle down to Mercury to drink water ice. I also show that Hrithik along with his heroine would develop teeth to break ice and convert it into water," said the 'Bandit Queen' fame director to India Satire correspondent. Sources said that movie producer Dany Boyle will be ready to pour the money for arranging a visit to Mercury.
Other small movie director, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who is out of all the money resources because of exciting flops like Guzaarish is also planning to shoot using Mercury. Sources said that the director would go to sleep tonight and would imagine the entire Mercury planet by moving to that planet in his dreams and would portray the entire set in black or gray shades.
"Yea that's true. I am planning to visit Mercury, tonight only. I would love to use the idea in my next film," said Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
For the time being, leaders of major political parties met in secret meetings to understand how to settle down on Mercury before the water on the earth will be finished.
