My next film with Sudeep will be my biggest: Director Shashank
The actor’s popularity has made Shashank confident enough to release his next film in four languages.
DNA first reported a coup of sorts last September of director Shashank teaming up with actor Sudeep for a rather ambitious project.
Now that Shashank’s film with Vijay, Jarasandha, is nearing its release, the director is all set to begin work on his yet-to-be titled film with Sudeep, which he promises will be his biggest film till date.
“I plan to begin the film in November. I’ve a script which requires three heroines to be a part of it. Each of the girls has an important role, so I’m currently going to be busy with casting and other finer details,” says Shashank, who will be backed by producer Uday Mehta.
Shashank plans to release the film it in four languages, encashing on his hero’s popularity. “Sudeep is a national-level actor. He’s been accepted in Hindi and Telugu already and he’s soon going to make his mark in Tamil. So it makes sense for me to release the film in at least four languages,” he says.
Quiz him on how big the budget of the film will be and Shashank says, “It is a huge budget, no doubt. But, we cannot compromise on anything either, especially when we have an actor like Sudeep as the protagonist.”
