This one is an active title, it is not static like the earlier one. With this one you get a feeling that something is happening.'

Produced by Big Pictures, the film is inspired by two short stories - 'Narsaiyyan Ki Bavdi' by Jeelani Bano and 'Phulwa Ka Pul' by Sanjeev. Another script by Jayant Kriplani was also merged to make it complete.

'Well Done Abba' was screened at the Montreal Film Festival Saturday and will be screened at the London Film Festival in the coming months.

'At the moment, we don't know when we will release the film in India. It has been screened at Montreal and will go to London and a few other festivals before releasing in India,' the 74-year-old filmmaker said.

Throwing light on what benefits a film receives by screening in festivals, Benegal said the film gets the critic's point of view and exposure required for sale in other countries, which is quite useful.

The director of critically acclaimed films like 'Ankur', 'Nishant', 'Junoon' and 'Zubeidaa' said he has a couple of ideas in mind for future projects but doesn't know which one will take precedence.
