Rohan Sippy is working furiously towards his next starring Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Ranbir Kapoor. Sources reveal that the Bluffmaster! director wants to roll his film in Feb 2009.

However, Rohan will have to wait as Abhishek has given block dates for Mani Ratnam’s film.

Queued up

A source adds that Rohan wanted to start his film as early next year, “Abhishek had given a verbal commitment to Rohan that he would start shooting early next year. But since Mani’s film was delayed due to his dad’s ill health, he can’t stick to his commitment. Now Abhishek is booked by Mani for the next three months.”

Different look

Rohan’s film is a thriller and will have Abhishek and Ranbir in completely different looks. “Abhishek’s look and style in it is very traditional and rustic as compared to how he will look in Rohan’s film. Hence the director will now have to wait longer till he wraps Mani’s film which will take another three to four months.”

Rohan Sippy says, “I hope to start the film in the second quarter of 2009. We were always planning to start the film after Abhishek finished Mani’s film.”

    Wonder if the Ranbir bit is really true!

    If the Ranbir bit is true, it’s a smart pairing.

    Dont know if it is true, as none of the Rohan quotes are about Ranbir– but I think they might make for an interesting pair, and a Rohan Sippy-directed thriller does sound interesting…

    And of course Rohan had a twosome in BM as well.

  5. Comment by satyam on 17 November 2008:

    Also have some doubts about the thriller bit..

  6. Comment by satyam on 17 November 2008:

    Rohan did say in an interview that he had never attempted anything as big as this film. I wonder if a thriller could satisfy that characterisation.

    I am not sure if Ranbir is going to be in this one. He’s supposed to start shooting for Rocket Singh in February and after that Rajneeti and one another movie. Dont know how this one fits his schedule. It might be just rumors, but you never know :)

    I’m actually excited by this film if the same DP as Bluffmaster is on board…

    Abhishek + Ranbir would be a great combo…a thriller would be even better!
