Yusuf
Khan,
who
made
his
directorial
debut
with
Khel,
has
cast
Dharmendra
and
Sunny
Deol
in
his
new
venture
called
Bus
Do
Punjabi.
What
is
Bus
Do
Punjabi
all
about?
"It's
based
on
the
father-son
relationship.
Since
the
father-son
hail
from
Punjab
in
my
story,
I
couldn't
think
of
anyone
but
Dharam-ji
and
Sunny
for
the
roles
in
question," Yusuf
enlightens.
What
prompted
Yusuf
to
opt
for
a
title
like
Bus
Do
Punjabi?
"That's
because
the
father
and
son
duo
of
Punjabis
take
on
a
gang
of
villains
when
they
arrive
from
Punjab.
Bus
do
Punjabi
hi
kaafi
hain
saare
villains
ke
liye.
That
explains
the
relevance," Yusuf
states.
Incidentally,
Anees
Bazmee
[director
of
No
Entry]
is
writing
the
story,
screenplay
and
dialogues
of
the
film.
Bus
Do
Punjabi
is
a
comedy
with
loads
of
high-voltage
action
scenes.
In
fact,
the
makers
are
planning
to
cast
as
many
as
nine
villains
in
the
film.
"My
office
has
already
short-listed
thirty
names
and
we
need
to
decide
upon
nine
actors
from
this
list.
The
villains
have
an
integral
role
to
play
in
Bus
Do
Punjabi,"
he
smiles.
Yusuf
is
yet
to
finalize
the
leading
ladies.
At
a
point
of
time,
the
makers
were
toying
with
the
idea
of
casting
established
names,
but
they
might
settle
for
new
faces.
"Since
Sunny
has
allotted
bulk
shooting
dates
from
July
to
September,
we
may
opt
for
newcomers
who
have
dates
to
spare
at
a
short
notice.
However,
we've
yet
to
take
a
decision
on
whether
to
cast
a
known
name
or
a
newcomer,"
he
adds.
G.V.
Prasad
is
producing
Bus
Do
Punjabi,
which
goes
on
floors
on
July
25
this
year.
