Can't see 'Freaky Ali' working without Nawazuddin: Sohail

Sohail says he wanted to make a film on the game of golf. "People think it's an elitist game meant for the rich and the privileged. My basic premise for the film was what if someone from the lower strata of the society, in this case an undergarment seller from small town, gets thrown into the vast elitist green acres of golf? "What if this simpleton doesn't know of the existence of the expert golfer within him? That's how this film started." This is where writer Raaj Shaandilya came to help Sohail co-write the script. "I've known him from the time he was working on 'Comedy Circus'. I was a judge on the show. I needed his sensibility in 'Freaky Ali'."
