Kunder gets some Chillies weather!

Shah Rukh Khan is in talks with the Jaan-E-Mann director (and good friend Farah Khan's hubby) to finance his new project

If all goes well, Shah Rukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment will produce Jaan-E-Mann director Shirish Kunder's second film.

Kunder is SRK's good friend and is also Farah Khan's husband.

A souce close to SRK confirms, "Yes, Red Chillies is looking into the feasibility of producing Shirish's next film. Talks are on and details will be shared once the project is finalised."

Sci-fi adventure

Film editor-turned-director Kunder's last film, Jaan-e-Mann, wasn't a blockbuster but was hailed for its stylish treatment.

His second film, however, won't have any romance but will be an out-and-out sci-fi adventure.

"The project in discussion will have loads of special effects and the treatment will be on par with a Hollywood film. Shah Rukh has already heard the story and is excited about the subject.

The script is ready, but casting has to be done. Shah Rukh was impressed with the way Shirish made Jaan-e-Mann and definitely wants to work with him," a source adds.

Does this mean the film will also star Shah Rukh? "Yes, that is being discussed as well. The film won't have a huge star cast. The focus will remain on a few key characters."

Lavish production

Another aspect being speculated is the budget of the film; sources claim the budget will cross the Rs 50 crore mark.

The source says, "The film will definitely have lavish production values, but it's difficult to estimate the exact cost at this point."

SRK's Red Chillies VFX will be in charge of managing the special effects on the project.

"They've already been given the brief of the film and are busy preparing presentations for Shah Rukh's approval." The movie is slated to go on floors sometime next year.
