Yup I have heard he was making a movie called 'Deham' (which translates to Body I guess). I had also heard that it was set in 2022. Did not know it was sci-fi. Thanks for the info.
Here's some more info. BTW I believe the movie is in English !
-------
Noted film director Govind Nihalani's first English feature film, 'Deham' (Body) has been invited for the London Film Festival to be held from November 7 to 22.
The movie, based on Manjula Padmanabhan's Onassis Foundation for Theatre's first prize winning play, 'Harvest', would also be screened at the Indian panorama section of International Film Festival of India to be held at Bangalore in October, a release said.
