While there's been a lot of
speculation regarding
Ayan Mukerji's next after
the success of 'Yeh Jawani
Hai Deewani', TOI has
learnt that the director's close buddy, Ranbir Kapoor, will star in
his upcoming film,
much like he did in Ayan's earlier
projects.
The more interesting piece of news
however is that Ranbir will play a
superhero in this yet-untitled project,
making him the next actor after Hrithik
Roshan and Shah Rukh Khan to essay
characters with superpowers on celluloid.
Not just Ranbir, the film will present a
challenge for Ayan too as he will be
graduating from the likes of Wake Up Sid
and Yeh Jawani... to a much less explored
genre. What's more, he will be up against
big-budget, action and special effects packed money spinners such as Krrish and
RA.One that have already been there and
done that.
Ayan, we hear, is currently on holiday in
Barcelona, where he is busy mulling over
a suitable script for his ambitious
venture. The plan is to meet up with
Ranbir as soon as he returns to Mumbai to
chalk out details of the project.
A source close to the development said,
"Ranbir trusts Ayan's abilities. He has
enjoyed working with the filmmaker so
far, and is looking forward to their next
outing together. This film will be
mounted on a much bigger scale than their earlier projects."
Apparently, with a movie high on stunts
and daredevilry (the kind only caped
crusaders are capable of), the idea is also
to capitalise on the huge fan following
that Ranbir enjoys among children.
Now whether Ranbir will leap as long and
fast as Krrish or have blue eyes like G.One
or fare even better, only time will tell.
Ayan and Ranbir both remained
unavailable for comment.
