Two
of
the
biggest
names
in
the
business,
Rohan
Sippy
and
Nikhil
Advani,
have
joined
hands
to
produce
their
first
movie
together.
To
be
directed
by
Nikhil
Advani,
the
film
will
star
Akshay
Kumar
in
the
lead.
Rohan
doesn't
deny
the
development
when
I
quiz
him
about
it.
"Yes,
we're
working
on
one
project
currently.
Right
now,
only
Akshay
Kumar
has
been
finalized.
He's
excited
about
the
project.
We
plan
to
start
the
film
by
the
year-end," Rohan
divulges.
Rohan
and
Nikhil
have
been
friends
for
quite
some
time,
so
their
first
collaboration
together
doesn't
come
as
a
surprise.
Rohan
and
Nikhil
are
in
the
process
of
working
out
the
remaining
formalities.
Will
Ramesh
Sippy's
R.S.
Entertainment
produce
this
film?
"That
needs
to
be
discussed.
Nikhil
and
Mukesh
Talreja
have
joined
hands
to
produce
films
together.
Their
production
outfit
will
be
involved
in
this
film,
so
we
need
to
work
it
out," Rohan
says.
While
on
Rohan
Sippy,
there's
talk
that
the
Nana
Patekar-Kunal
Kapoor
project,
to
be
directed
by
Rohit
Shetty
[Zameen,
Golmaal],
has
been
put
on
the
backburner.
"Everyone's
busy
with
multiple
films,
so
we
need
to
match
the
schedules
accordingly.
A
clear
picture
will
emerge
next
week,"
Rohan
admits.
Also,
the
project
with
Sujoy
Ghosh,
Alladin,
starring
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Sanjay
Dutt
and
Ritesh
Deshmukh,
will
not
be
produced
by
the
Sippys
anymore.
"Sujoy
is
producing
the
film
on
his
own.
We
are
not
associated
with
it,"
Rohan
reveals.
What
happened?
"Sujoy
had
a
certain
budget
in
mind,
while
we
felt
that
stretching
a
film
beyond
a
particular
budget
wouldn't
be
feasible,
so
we
decided
to
part
amicably.
It's
not
advisable
to
work
if
we
don't
reach
a
common
consensus
on
certain
things.
No
point
creating
an
unpleasant
atmosphere
later,"
Rohan
adds.
