After
having
debuted
with
the
hardcore
action
flick
Balwaan,
almost
two
decades
ago,
Suniel
Shetty
went
on
to
experiment
in
various
genres
right
from
romance,
to
comedy
to
socially
relevant
films.
However,
those
fans
who
have
been
pining
to
see
'Anna'
in
an
action
role
can
finally
smile
as
the
actor
is
all
ready
to
start
his
next
film
which
is
an
action
film.
The
film
in
question
is
a
remake
of
the
popular
Malayalam
film
Keerthichakra
and
will
be
directed
by
Major
Ravi
(an
ex-Indian
Army
Major).
Major
Ravi,
who
has
been
associated
with
directors
like
Priyadarshan
and
Rajkumar
Santoshi
in
the
past,
had
directed
the
original
version
starring
Mohanlal
which
was
a
runaway
success.
Speaking
about
the
film,
Suniel
says,
"Yes...
I
am
excited
about
doing
an
action
film
after
a
long
while.
The
original
version
Keerthichakra
was
a
huge
success
and
I
hope
that
the
Hindi
remake
also
does
well.
I
play
the
role
of
an
officer
who
leads
a
team
of
10
young
commandos.
My
character
is
like
a
mentor
and
guide
to
the
younger
boys.
"
The
film
is
based
on
the
militancy
issue
in
Jammu
and
Kashmir
While
Suniel
has
been
finalized
for
the
lead
role;
the
rest
of
the
cast
is
yet
to
be
finalized.
