Bollywood
film
maker
Ayan
Mukerji
says
his
good
friend
and
frequent
collaborator
Ranbir
Kapoor
will
undergo
training
in
horse-riding
and
gymnastics
for
their
next
venture,
Dragon.
The
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani
director
says
his
upcoming
project
will
be
physically
taxing
for
Ranbir.
In
a
interview
with
PTI,
Ayan
says,
"There
is
lot
of
action
in
Dragon,
so
there
is
lot
of
training,
like
gymnastics
kind
of
training,
horse-riding,
fighting
and
lot
of
physical
stuff
that
Ranbir
will
have
to
do.
And
then
there
is
internal
work,
like
to
get
the
spirit
of
the
character
right.
"Ranbir
has
to
observe
the
flavour
of
the
film
and
communicate
it
with
the
audience.
We
are
trying
to
imagine
things,
this
(fantasy)
world,
and
work
accordingly."
Tentatively
titled
Dragon,
the
film
will
see
Ranbir
playing
a
character
with
special
powers.
Ayan
adds
with
the
movie
he
will
be
venturing
into
a
new
arena
of
filmmaking
and
"wants
to
make
it
an
interesting
watch
for
the
audience."
The
director
says
they
will
soon
announce
the
real
title
of
the
movie,
which
features
Alia
Bhatt
as
the
female
lead.
Ayan,
who
has
always
had
a
touch
of
romance
in
his
movies,
says
Dragon
would
be
no
different.
"In
its
core
it
has
romance
as
an
element
but
it
has
got
a
new
flavour
to
it.
With
every
film
I
am
trying
to
evolve
and
grow."
The
Wake
Up
Sid
director
says
he
is
nervous
about
the
film
as
people
have
a
lot
of
expectations
from
him.
"I
am
definitely
nervous.
There
is
lot
of
work
that
needs
to
be
done
for
the
film
and
I
am
so
caught
up
with
it
that
there
is
no
time
to
think
or
be
indulgent,
and
I
am
feeling
very
nervous.
"It's
a
huge
project
and
lot
of
people
have
faith
in
it
and
in
me
so
I
need
to
deliver
for
my
own
career,
for
the
producer,
the
actors
and
the
entire
crew," he
says.
The
team
will
start
the
shooting
early
next
year
and
the
makers
are
planning
to
release
the
film
in
2019.
