The filmmaker is yet to finalize a director for the project, but wishes to get a top director on board. The film is expected to go on floors in the first half of next year once Shahid wraps up shooting for Koi Shaq. “It’s in very early stages of discussion at the moment and there is no director associated to the script. Once Shahid agrees in principle on the script, Bhansali will scout for a director, as he wishes to get a top director on board the project. It’s a very commercial script, on the lines of two other films produced by SLB, Rowdy Rathore and Gabbar Is Back. SLB and team are hopeful on Shahid to come on board the film,” the source concludes.
