It has been a week since Shabana Azmi wrapped up shooting for her role in a lesbian themed movie, Signature Move, set in Chicago (US). Back in Mumbai after a 13-day shoot, Shabana speaks to hitlist about the movie, essentially the story of a Pakistani-American Muslim lesbian, Zaynab, played by Fawzia Mirza, (co-writer of the film), who hides two things from her conservative mother (Shabana) — budding relationship with a Mexican-American woman and growing fascination with Lucha Libre, a form of professional wrestling.
