“It'll be shot entirely in India.Ritesh Shah has written the script, we've been toying with the idea since six years,“ says Nishikant, adding that it will roll next year after the release of Rocky Handsome and Madaari. “I want an actor from the younger lot for the male lead. Someone like Varun Dhawan, Ranveer Singh or Sidharth Malhotra.We might opt for a fresh face for the heroine.“
Upbeat about the success of Drishyam, the director admits to have been confident that the film would do well. Is Part 2 on the cards? “The sequel has to be better than the original and right now I don't have a story. But I share a great equation with Ajay and we will definitely collaborate again.“
Last week, he wrapped up Rocky Handsome with 42 year-old actor, John Abraham.“He will be seen battling under world dons and the drug mafia in the film. John is a good friend and I have discussed another action drama with him. We have a great story idea but I can sit down to script it only towards the end of next year.“ Before that he will direct a Marathi film, Mauil, for Riteish Deshmukh. They had part nered in Lai Bhaari. The action comedy rolls in August 2016.
