Karan Razdan packs sensitive theme in new film
Mumbai , Oct 2 : Writer-director Karan Razdan is known for films full of glitz and glamour, but his latest venture "Umar" deals with a sensitive and sublime theme.

Irrespective of the films subject, the common factor, which binds all films of Karan is - entertainment. Most of his movies have fared stupendously at the box-office and now he is all excited about "Umar".The film, produced by P.D. Gupta, casts Jimmy Shergill as the main protagonist and Shehnaz Treasurywala as Jimmys love interest. The films attraction will be the three eccentric oldies played by seasoned actors - Kader Khan, Prem Chopra and Satish Kaushik, reported Bollywood Trade.
