Debutante
director
Atul
Sabharwal
is
so
impressed
with
his
Aurangzeb
actor
Arjun
Kapoor
that
he
has
already
planned
a
second
movie
with
him.
"He
(Arjun)
is
my
favourite
actor.
I
find
a
rare
quality
in
him...
I
feel
he
has
a
face
that
has
a
character
and
has
the
aura
of
a
star
like
Amitabh
Bachchan,
Toshiro
Mifune
and
Marcello
Mastroianni.
I
find
those
faces
interesting," Sabharwal
told
in
an
interview.
The
filmmaker
has
spoken
to
producer
Adtiya
Chopra
about
his
next,
in
which
he
wants
to
cast
the
27-year-old
Ishaqzaade
actor.
"That
is
something
that
Adi
and
me
have
discussed.
Once
we
are
free
from
this
film
then
we
will
think
about
that.
No,
this
film
is
not
in
the
space
of
action-thriller.
Its
something
that
I
had
written
before
Aurangzeb
and
that
was
written
keeping
in
mind
Arjun,"
he
added.
Sabharwal
was
keen
to
have
Arjun
in
Aurangzeb
and
was
quite
elated
when
the
actor
agreed
to
do
the
movie.
It
will
see
Arjun
in
a
double
role
for
the
first
time.
"I
wanted
him
to
do
the
film.
So
I
explored
the
opportunity
with
him
to
see
if
he
would
be
equally
excited
to
do
this
project
as
I
am.
Thankfully
he
was,"
he
said.
The
film
has
an
ensemble
cast
including
Rishi
Kapoor,
Jackie
Shroff,
Deepti
Naval,
Amrita
Singh,
South
actor
Prithviraj.
"We
had
all
the
veterans
like
Rishi
Kapoor,
Deepti
Naval,
Amrita
Singh,
Jackie
Shroff
and
others
coming
in.
They
all
agreed
as
they
were
excited
about
their
roles
respectively
and
it
was
something
that
they
had
not
done
in
the
past,"
Sabharwal
said.
The
director
says
it
was
not
difficult
to
convince
the
actors.
"It
was
just
about
narrating
them
the
story
correctly.
You
could
tell
them
the
story
in
the
quickest
gist
possible
and
if
that
excites
them
then
nothing
like
it.
I
think
I
am
lucky
to
have
got
them
all,"
he
said.
Releasing
on
May
17,
the
film
also
stars
Sasha
Agha,
daughter
of
Pakistani
Singer
Salma
Agha.
"We
required
a
girl
who
could
play
the
part
of
getting
stuck
between
two
people.
She
showed
excitement
towards
the
film.
The
film
required
a
brave
girl
and
she
fits
the
bill,"
the
director
said.
