It seems that discussions between the two have been ongoing for some time, and now, the pieces of the puzzle have finally come together.
“Ashutosh has been working on a subject that warrants a rooted treatment, and he felt that Rishab is the best fit for his subject. He met the actor multiple times over the last few months, and both jammed very well with regards to their take on cinema. Being a writer himself, Rishab collaborated very well with Ashutosh on the script, and the two are now all set to team up for the first time,” said the source to PinkVilla .
Once Rishab finishes shooting for Kantara 2, he will dive into this new project. What makes this film particularly intriguing is that it will be a multi-language production, hitting the screens in Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, and Malayalam. The shooting for this film is expected to commence around mid-2024.
The script for the film is already locked in, and Ashutosh Gowariker is set to kickstart the pre-production phase in the next couple of months. The timeline for shooting will largely depend on the schedule of Kantara 2, as Rishab Shetty is juggling commitments.
Ashutosh Gowariker, the director behind iconic films such as Lagaan, Swades, Jodhaa Akbar, Mohenjo Daro, and Panipat, among others, brings his wealth of experience and creativity to this exciting new project. Fans can certainly anticipate an engaging cinematic experience as these two talents join forces for a pan India film adventure.
