Renowned filmmaker Priyadarshan, celebrated for his comedy gems like Hera Pheri and Bhool Bhulaiyaa, is once again gearing up to collaborate with a Bollywood heavyweight. According to recent buzz, the director is in discussions with actor Saif Ali Khan for an upcoming thriller.
Is Saif Ali Khan playing a blind man in Priyadarshan’s upcoming movie?
Among Bollywood fans, Priyadarshan has been known for his iconic comedy movies like Garam Masala, De Dana Dan, Bhool Bhulaiyaa, and more. However, his recent work includes Corona Papers, Appatha, and more South releases. Hence, fans have been waiting for his grand comeback to the Hindi cinemas. Now, along with a potential collaboration with Akshay Kumar, recent reports suggest a Saif Ali Khan starrer will be the next one.
According to Pinkvilla, the collaboration between Priyadarshan and Saif Ali Khan holds the potential to bring something fresh and captivating to the audience. A source disclosed, “Priyadarshan has mastered the art of making thrillers in the Malayalam Film Industry. And is now looking to make one with Saif Ali Khan in the lead. The talks are on and in a very nascent stage at the moment.”
The excitement doesn’t stop there. It further reported that Saif Ali Khan might play the character of a blind man in the movie. Additionally, Priyadarshan aims to kickstart the filming of this project in July 2024, with a start-to-finish 40-day schedule.
“The script is ready, and it’s all about getting the star cast and production house in place. We will have a clearer picture about the outcome of this film in a fortnight. As things are in a very early stage at the moment,” the publication further reported.
This revelation arrives hot on the heels of Priyadarshan and Akshay Kumar’s latest project announcement. The duo will be collaborating after ages for a “horror fantasy with humor” movie.
