Milan
Luthria
the
director
of
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai
is
simply
on
a
roll.
Deep
into
promotional
activities
for
his
film,
he
already
has
the
platform
set
for
his
next.
A
project
that
is
ready
and
slated
to
go
on
floors
in
September
will
feature
Emraan
Hashmi
in
the
lead.
Says
Milan,
"A
lot
of
expectations
are
attached
to
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai
that
carries
on
to
my
next.
Emraan
and
my
combination
works
and
therefore
he
is
a
natural
choice.
This
film
will
be
a
crime
thriller
set
in
contemporary
Mumbai."
When
asked
about
the
story
line
of
the
film
Milan
says
"It's
a
kind
of
a
trilogy
that
started
with
Taxi
No
2011.
That
too
was
a
story
set
in
Mumbai
and
so
is
Once
Upon
A
Time
In
Mumbai.
The
three
films
are
not
connected
but
are
separate
stories,
though
they
have
the
same
feel
of
Mumbai
city.
This
third
story
is
quite
interesting
and
has
a
novel
and
unexpected
ending."
While
this
one
is
all
ready
to
go
on
floors,
there
is
another
film
with
Ekta
Kapoor
that
Milan
is
in
the
talks
for.
Says
the
director," Yes
Ekta
discussed
an
idea
with
me
for
a
story.
It's
called
The
Dirty
Picture.
Ekta
and
I
are
very
comfortable
with
each
other.
So
it
was
natural
for
us
to
work
together."
But
that
isn't
all;
Milan
has
the
ball
rolling
for
yet
another
project
as
he
talks
about
a
prospective
film
with
Ajay
Devgan.
"Good
offers
are
coming
my
way.
Ajay
and
I
have
always
worked
together.
I
shared
the
story
with
him
and
he
liked
it
very
much.
It's
too
early
to
talk
about
it
but
I
can
tell
you
that
it
will
be
a
multi-
starrer."
