MUMBAI: Anubhav Sinha, who was in the news when he directed Shah Rukh Khan’s Ra.One, has lined up two films in the pipeline under his newly setup banner Benaras Media Works Pvt Ltd.
The first of the lot will be an action film that will be directed by Sudhir Mishra while the second will be helmed by Gurmeet, a former assistant on several YRF films.
The script of the first film, a combination of cerebral and physical action, a kind of Bourne Identity meeting Jackie Chan, is now being written. It will have a huge star cast with its action scenes resembling those seen in Kung Fu films.
It is being said that Shah Rukh Khan will play the main lead with Irrfan Khan, Arunoday Singh and Vidyut Jamwal in other roles.
