Farhan Akhtar to collaborate with Ashutosh Gowariker for a thriller
Farhan and Ashutosh are both in need of a hit as the former’s Rock On 2 and the latter’s Mohenjo Daro failed at the box-office
Farhan Akhtar teased his fans on Instagram yesterday, by posting a shirtless picture, flaunting six-pack abs. He captioned the picture: Getting into the zone I want for my next film.. details of what, when and with whom to follow.
Well, here are the details…
Won’t direct it
While Farhan is gearing up for a thriller next, sources say he is in no mood to direct the film and will only produce and act in it.
Two become one
Two directors were in the reckoning. Says the source, “Ashutosh Gowariker has been roped in. Rajkumar Santoshi was in contention, but Ashutosh was chosen as Farhan felt that the helmer, known for his elaborate period films, would be ideal for the project, given that his first directorial was a thriller (Pehla Nasha).”
