Guess what? The director of Bollywood’s biggest hit in 2011 is not interested in casting any of the three big Khans for his next mega project. But it’s nothing personal — the Khans simply don’t fit the bill in Siddique’s upcoming mega budget love and action thriller that will have Mumbai as the main character.
The director, who directed the Bollywood monster hit Bodyguard starring Salman Khan and the Tamil version Kaavalan starring Vijay, will complete his new mega project in 2012 itself. “ I am presently working on the project. I will be leaving for Mumbai in the next few days,” he said, “There will be neither Shah Rukh, Aamir or Salman Khan in my next project. I have not finalised the cast, but it will not be any of the three,” he said.
“Salman Khan was in my mind when I thought of making Bodyguard in Hindi. For the upcoming project, I have decided to cast stars after having a series of discussions,” Siddique added that the film will have a prominent Bollywood star in the lead. “The aesthetics of Bollywood viewers are different. They don’t like highly emotional subjects. They enjoy watching romantic and action movies,” he said.
So, is he planning to set up base in Bollywood? “I will not be relocating to Mumbai. I will return once my work is over,” he said.
