Rumi was a Sufi - a discipline of Islam - master who was born in what would become modern-day Afghanistan. He spent much of his life traveling around the area before being buried in what would be modern-day Turkey. "There are a lot of reasons we're making a product like this right now," said David Franzoni

Muzzafar Ali, who has not made a film in over a decade, is currently working on a new project based on great Persian poet Rumi.
