Mumbai, May 30 (IANS) Filmmaker Karan Johar says he is eager to watch director Anu Menon's debut release "Waiting", starring Kalki Koechlin and Naseeruddin Shah.
"Waiting to see 'Waiting'! I hear Naseer Saab and Kalki Koechlin are phenomenal! I believe it's reflective and connective slice of life," Karan tweeted on Sunday.
This is not the first time Kalki and Naseeruddin have worked together. They have earlier shared screen space in Anurag Kashyap's "That Girl in Yellow Boots", and in "Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara". But they didn't have any scenes together in the latter.
"Waiting" narrates the story of the characters of Kalki and Naseeruddin, who develop a bond when they meet in the waiting room of a hospital for their spouses to spring back to life from a state of coma.
"Waiting" also stars Rajat Kapoor and Suhasini Maniratnam.

Ali Fazal gets sketching lessons from Nana Patekar
Actor Ali Fazal has added another skill to his pool of talent! This time, it is sketching, which he learnt from senior actor Nana Patekar.
Nana spends his time between the shots to make sketches of people on the sets and of landscapes that he sees around him. He shared tips with Ali and taught him some skills to be a good sketcher.
Nana sir is some sort of an Einstein in the world of cinema. And such a great artist. We had a sweet jam session on paper, sketching away. Yes I took some great tips. There is so much to learn from him. I keep digging for more. I think I pester him a lot, said Ali.
