Sajid Nadiadwala, who is currently busy shooting for his comic caper with Sajid Khan Housefull 2, is already hunting for an action script for his next with Shahid Kapoor.
And though the filmmaker has still not found a script suitable enough to turn Shahid into an international action sensation, he has already roped in world's top stunt director Philippe Guegan for the project, reportedly for a whopping sum of money.
Guegan who has designed the stunts for Jackie Chan in Rush Hour and Harrison Ford in the Indiana Jones series, was all set to do world-class action for Shahid in director Sabir Khan's Heer Aur Ranjha. However, the script for Sabir's Heer Aur Ranjha failed to take off. Sajid ordered Sabir to go back to the story- board and design another action film with Shahid.
A source revealed, "Sajid Nadiadwala has hired the services of Guegan for Salman Khan in Kick and Shahid Kapoor in Heer Aur Ranjha . Unfortunately both the projects are not taking off on time. Kick is delayed and Heer Aur Ranjha is not happening. Sajid has asked Sabir to write another action film for Shahid fast."
Apart from having hired Guegan, there's one more reason for Sajid's hurry. Shahid who is very keen on doing an action flick next already has Kaminey 2 in the pipeline. And Nadiadwala doesn't want to lose out to Vishal Bhardway. When contacted, Nadiadwala said, "Yes, we have hired Philippe Guegan to do Shahid's action sequences. But sadly Sabir Khan's first script didn't work out. He has gone back to do another one. Hopefully this time he will come up with a rocking action story for Shahid."
Or else Guegan goes back to Paris with a fat cheque and no work to show for it.
Meanwhile...
Before Shahid Kapoor is seen in his first ever action-packed film, the actor will be showing off his moves, at a live concert in Hyde Park, London for the music release of his father Pankaj Kapoor's debut film, Mausam. Beyond just promoting the film, co-producers, Eros International and Sheetal Talwar along with the director, envisioned that the live concert also commemorate and promote Indian cinema in Europe. And so, the filmmakers, who are currently in London, are reportedly eager to hold the event on either the eve or on India's Independence Day, August 15.
A source has informed that the concert, which will feature the music composed by Pritam Chakraborty, will be open to all. When contacted, producer Sheetal Talwar told Mumbai Mirror, "Mausam is a very well made film. Pankaj has invested a lot of time and effort on the film and he was eager to do something spectacular to launch its music."
