Washington, September 8 : Acclaimed director Oliver Stone is planning a big screen documentary based on Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

The three-time Oscar-winner is in talks with Iran to document the newly re-elected president, who is internationally criticized over Iran''s nuclear weapons program and his attitude towards the West.

The disputed leader's re-election earlier this year also drew protests from hundreds of demonstrators who were injured as they to took to the streets.

Stone, who recently finished shooting his documentary-style film on the life of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, said conflicting schedules may stall his plans.

"I was very interested because I thought we were going to go to war in Iran," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

"If we had been more successful in Iraq, I have no doubts that we would have been more involved in the Iranian situation now," he added. (ANI)
