The first two projects will be directed by Ghai himself. The first to go on floors is Black N White, which will be produced under the banner of Mukta Searchlight Films. It will be shot in one schedule, from 21st November, and will introduce a new lead man -- Anurag Sinha, a diploma holder from FTII, Pune. Anil Kapoor will play a stellar role in this film.

The second film Ghai will direct will star Salman Khan and two top heroines. To be made under the banner of Mukta Arts Entertainment, the film will be shot from mid-April to mid-September 2007 and will be released in Diwali 2007. A.R. Rahman will score the music of this film. "It's budgeted at Rs. 30 crores," Ghai reveals.

Nagesh Kukunoor will direct the third film, which is titled Bombay to Bangkok. The fourth project, to be directed by Kukunoor's chief assistant Shashi Silgudia, is titled Cycle Kick and will go on floors next month, in November.
