Is
Karisma
Kapoor
staging
a
comeback
with
a
Yash
Raj
film?
Or
in
a
film
directed
by
Onir?
Or
Sunny
Deol's
Ghayal
2?
Rumors
are
rife
that
the
actress
is
being
considered
for
a
pivotal
role
in
Ghayal
2,
directed
by
Tigmanshu
Dhulia.
In
fact,
only
two
actors
--
Sunny
and
Om
Puri
--
will
be
retained
from
the
first
part,
while
several
present-day
actors
will
be
added
to
the
sequel.
"Yes, the leading lady will have a lot to do in Ghayal 2. It's a strong part. But Karisma hasn't been approached for it. I am surprised at the rumors," Tigmanshu clarifies, "We haven't reached the casting stage yet, so the question of signing any actor at this juncture just doesn't arise."
The talented writer-director says that he's extra cautious while writing the script of Ghayal 2. "You can't mess with a film like Ghayal. I don't want to make mistakes and repent later. I have just completed the first draft of the script, but Sunny is yet to go through the narration. We may improvise, if need be," Tigmanshu divulges. He is looking at starting the film some time in April/May, "but it all depends on Sunny's schedules," he adds.
Meanwhile, Tigmanshu is also working on a thriller, titled Shagird. Hussain Shaikh [Exec. Producer of Bluffmaster!] and Aasif Sheikh [Exec. Producer of Aashiq Banaya Aapne and Dil Diya Hai] will jointly produce the film, which is expected to star Nana Patekar in the film. "We are also looking at a young hero to play Nana's shagird," Tigmanshu states. This project is expected to roll in August, after Ghayal 2 takes off.
