Kaizad Gustad to helm sex-comedy Baghdad Calling Saddam

Filmmaker Kaizad Gustad
Filmmaker Kaizad Gustad is all set to direct a sex-comedy titled Baghdad Calling Saddam said to be a funny take on former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein's life. The film, set in 2003 when Hussein's power was at its peak, will narrate the story of an Indian lookalike of the late Iraqi leader. Confirming and elaborating the same, Gustad said, “The film, set in 2003 when Saddam’s power was at its peak, is the story of an Indian who looks similar to the ex-Iraqi president gets stuck in his palace and people think that he is Saddam.” Quashing talks that he has been inspired by the Hollywood film The Devil's Double that is an alleged biography of the playboy son of Hussein, the director said that his story is fictional. The Devil's Double was based on the story of Latif Yahia, an Iraqi soldier who claims that he was forced to become a body double for Uday Hussein. "My film is a fictional take on Saddam Hussein's life while The Devil's Double was a true story based on Uday Hussein. What would a person do when he has the face of the most powerful dictator of the planet and people think that you are him? This question is the basis of my narrative," he added. Kaizad, who had earlier helmed the Amitabh Bachchan starrer Boom way back in 2003 has made a comeback in films with the Sachiin Joshi and Sunny Leone-starrer Jackpot. He is also working on a masala entertainer Auto Bhagwan.
