And from what we hear, Jugraj's film is the remake of the Hollywood super hit Charlie's Angels and will reportedly star Sushmita Sen, Lara Dutta and Priyanka Chopra. A close friend of Jugraj says that the film revolves around three women much like its Hollywood counterpart.
"It will show three women in complete action, something that's not really been shown in Bollywood. They will be seen performing a whole lot of stunts much like you saw Cameron (Diaz), Drew (Barrymore) and Lucy (Liu) did in Charlie's Angels. Jumping off helicopters, driving fast cars and other such stunts will be there," says a source.
Abbas-Mustan however denied this. "It's not a remake of the film. We don't know where these rumours are surfacing from. The film is very different," says Abbas, "And as far as the star cast is considered we will take those people who are close to us and have worked with them. We will be announcing it soon."
Abbas-Mustan have launched their own production house, Burmawalla Productions, and have signed on Nishikant Desai, Rumi Jaffrey and Rohit Jugraj to direct films for their banner this year.
"We can direct only 4-5 films a year. But there are so many other stories out there that we feel should be made. And so we came up with the decision to launch our production company. This way we will make some films ourselves and at the same time we will give new filmmakers a chance as well," explains Abbas.
