Monday, 6th Oct 2014, 5:14 PM IST Director Abhishek Chaubey, who has earlier directed films like ‘Ishqiya’ and ‘Dedh Ishqiya’, is all set to direct another flick titled as ‘Udta Punjab’. He has roped in Shahid Kapoor to play the lead role and reportedly the film will also star Emraan Hashmi in parallel lead. A source said, "There are two central characters in Chaubey's script. There are traces of dark humour which is why the director believes that Emraan will be perfect for the part. He recently approached theactor for the role, and Emraan has responded positively. Getting Shahid and Emraan together will be a casting coup of sorts. The film also has a strong female character and talks are on with several actresses." When Abhishek was asked about Emraan’s presence in the film he said, "It will not be appropriate or fair for me to comment about it at this point." ‘Udta Punjab’ is produced by Anurag Kashyap's Phantom Films and will start rolling in January 2015. |
