Friday, 02nd May 2014, 04:00 PM IST Just as he wrapped up Dibakar Banerjee’s film ‘Detective Byomkesh Bakshi’, actor Sushant Singh Rajput received news that Hollywood star John Travolta will be starring with him in his next project, Shekhar Kapur’s ‘Paani’. Travolta recently confirmed the news saying, "I've been approached and I'm considering doing this film."
Sushant plays the lead role in this film and he has requested the makers Aditya Chopra and Shekhar to give him 100 days to prepare for this role. An insider source informed, “Especially now that Travolta is likely to star in the film along with Sushant, he wants to put his best foot forward. Also, he has been a fan of films like ‘Face Off’ (1997), ‘Saturday Night Fever’ (1977) and ‘Pulp Fiction’ (1994), so he wants to be fully prepared to work with someone like Travolta.” Sushant wants to focus on being completely ready in terms of the emotional and physical aspects. The source further added, “For Dibakar's film, he had lost a lot of weight, but for Shekhar's next, he needs to have a chiselled physique. All of it will take time since he has just finished the shoot of his last film. That's why he has asked for 100 days from Aditya sir and Shekhar. And they have agreed, too, because they are aware that it's going to be a challenging part for Sushant.” |
