Saturday, 4th June 2017, 05:00 PM IST Dragon', the superhero film to be produced by Karan Johar and directed by Ayan Mukerjee's, was said to be mother of all special effects films and India's answer to Hollywood's big-scale super-hero films has right now taken a back seat. What an actor wants, is to play a superhero at least once in his career. And when the actor's best friend decides to write and direct one, it has got to be super-special, everything was happening as planned until the star-director pair met the internationally celebrated Israeli martial arts specialist Ido Portal in London for the action scenes in Dragon. Apparently the cost quoted by Ido made Ranbir & Ayan come back to India in surprise. It all has come back to square one for the team as producer Karan Johar has asked to get to the drawing board to figure out the budget vis--vis international technicians. Also, the fact that the Indian super-hero films like The Flying Jatt' (Balaji Motion Pictures) has bombed, has tilted the scales towards a go-no-go for Dragon', said a source close to Karan. At the moment the official status for Dragon' is "delayed. It was meant to start in July. Then it went to the end of the year. Ranbir and Alia Bhatt were paired together for the first time in Dragon'. Also, the film was supposed to have Amitabh Bachchan working with Ranbir for the first time, now when will that happen is uncertain. |
