Ace filmmaker Deepa Mehta has roped in Bollywood hottie Soha Ali Khan for 'Midnight's Children'.

Soha is very excited to get this role but she is not ready to disclose anything regarding the film.

The actress said that she had never worked with such a senior like Deepa so she is honored to get the chance. It is going to be her second film with any female director, the other one is Sangeeta, the director of her movie Life Goes On.

Soha said lightheartedly that Mehta would kill her if she talks about this film.

As the 'Midnight's Children' is in its in first phase, Soha was asked to keep quiet about it. (With Inputs from Agencies)
