Sanjay Khanduri, who made a mark with his first ever directorial venture Ek Chalis Ki Last Local (2007), is going places. Other than being signed by Venus Films for a comedy that has thrill elements interspersed with it, Khanduri has now also bagged a project with Vipul Shah's Blockbuster Movie Entertainers.
The maker of films like Waqt - Race Against Time, Namastey London and Singh Is Kinng (which is currently on floors), Vipul Shah, has signed Sanjay Khanduri for a film which is going to be an out and out action entertainer.
Confirms Sanjay, "Yes, I have been signed by Vipul Shah. It is an interesting subject for me since it would have action in ample doses."
As per sources, the film is touted to be a multi crore extravaganza and would feature some never seen before stunts on the Indian screen. Khanduri does admit that the film is set on a huge scale though he prefers to keep mum on the exact amount which is expected to be spent on the film.
"It's the subject and its execution which is prevailing most in my mind currently", says Sanjay whose ECKLL not just garnered critical acclaim all over but also turned out to be a surprise success story. In fact though the film's theatrical run was limited, its DVD featured as a best seller for weeks in succession. Also, the film featured as one of the best to have come out of Bollywood when 2007 year end charts were being created.
"Of course it gives me a high to receive compliments till date for ECKLL. Anyways, now I am raring to get behind the camera again. The scripts for both the films (with Venus and Vipul Shah) are in good shape and I should be ready to kick start a project soon", says Sanjay excitedly.
How about murmurs that some of the top bracket star/actors have been sending him feelers about their interest in working with him? Laughs Sanjay, "Let something concrete happen and then we should be ready to talk. Yes, good things are certainly happening and the projects coming my way are prestigious as well. God willing, I should be able to deliver well with my next film too."
