unconventional choices, the actor is now
gearing up to do a film with Aanand L. Rai
production. The film in question is to be
directed by Navdeep Singh and will see Saif
reuniting with his Rehna Hai Tere Dil Mein
co-star R Madhavan.
The duo, who hasn't shared screen space
since this Hindi film that marked the debut
of former beauty queen Dia Mirza in 2001,
will however be, seen in a completely
different avatar in this directorial. Talking
about the film, we hear that it is a historical
tale, a period drama set against the
backdrop of Rajasthan.
From what we hear, the untitled project will
also have elements of action with Saif and R
Madhavan taking up training sessions in
sword fighting and horse riding for the
film. Furthermore, it is also being said that
the film will make use of prosthetics but the
details for the same is kept under wraps for
now.
There are also reports about Zoya Hussain
who made her debut with the last Aanand
L. Rai production Mukkabaaz being signed
on as a leading lady. Deepak Dobriyal too is
said to be a part of the film. However, an
official announcement on all the details is
yet awaited.
On the other hand, Navdeep Singh had
earlier announced that his next directorial
was Kaneda which was supposed to see
him reunite with his NH10 producer
Anushka Sharma with the actress too
playing a prominent role in the film.
However, we hear that the modalities didn't
work out and Navdeep decided to bow out
of it.
As of now, Navdeep Singh is said to have
locked the details of this untitled period
drama. It is expected to be extensively shot
in Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh and Mumbai
with the first schedule kicking off in
February in Rajasthan.
