Filmmaker
Sidharth
Anand
says
the
Hindi
remake
of
"Rambo"with
Tiger
Shroff
is
taking
time
as
it
requires
a
lot
of
preparation
for
action
sequences.
There
were
reports
that
the
project
was
shelved
but
Anand
says
it
is
in
the
pipeline.
"...while
Tiger
and
I
were
working
on
these
things,
another
film
with
YRF
came
into
the
picture.
For
the
first
lead,
we
felt
Hrithik
Roshan
was
an
apt
choice.
For
the
second
lead
I
bounced
the
idea
to
Tiger," Anand
told
PTI.
"I
told
him
that
if
we
do
this
film
now,
we
will
have
to
push
'Rambo'.
And
we
both
agreed
that
we
give
a
little
bit
of
more
time
to
prepare
(for
Rambo).
As
soon
as
the
shoot
of
YRF
film
is
over,
Anand
says,
the
work
will
begin
on
"Rambo".
The
initial
plan
is
to
make
"Rambo"
into
a
franchise,
but
that
can
happen
only
if
the
part
one
does
well,
he
says.
"We
need
to
bring
the
first
film
out
and
then
see
if
audience
wants
to
watch
more
of
this
character
or
not.
It
will
go
on
floors
by
2019
end
and
release
in
2020,"
he
says.
Anand's
last
outing
was
action
film,
"Bang
Bang".
Prior
to
that,
he
directed
romantic
films
like
"Salaam
Namaste",
"Ta
Ra
Rum
Pum",
"Bachna
Ae
Haseeno"
and
"Anjaana
Anjaani".
"I
have
always
been
a
romantic-comedy
director.
But
my
last
film
'Bang
Bang' was
action
and
it
changed
the
perception
of
me
as
a
director.
Now
I
am
known
as
an
action
director
and
I
am
enjoying
that.
I
try
to
push
the
envelope
as
much
as
I
can
for
the
action
sequences
and
bring
aesthetics,"
he
says.
Anand
is
making
his
TV
debut
as
a
judge
on
Zee
TV's
popular
dance
reality
show
"DID
Li'L
Masters" alongside
Chitrangda
Singh
and
choreographer
Marzi
Pestonji.
The
director
says
it
was
a
'no
brainer'
for
him
to
give
a
nod
to
the
show
as
'DID'
is
the
mother
of
all
dance
reality
shows.
"It
is
the
first
time
that
a
director
would
be
judging
the
show.
Since
its
inception,
the
show
has
been
judged
by
choreographers.
