Q.581

Considered by some to be "unfilmable" because of its complex narrative and its magic realism theme, Salman Rushdie's book "Midnight's Children" is finally being made into a movie by Deepa Mehta. The tale of Saleem Sinai, this film features a large cast of well known Indian actors.

The BBC had once tried to make this movie, but the project ran into trouble. An Indian actor was cast as Saleem Sinai in that project. He now plays the crazy General Zulfikar in the 2012 production. Who?
