Hrithik
Roshan
Doesn't
Have
Time
For
Shankar's
Film
A
Pinkvilla
report
quoted
a
source
as
saying,
"Shankar's
next
movie
after
2.0
is
Indian
2,
with
Kamal
Haasan
but
the
director
has
been
simultaneously
on
more
than
one
project,
one
of
which
includes
an
underwater
sci-fi
film.
Shankar
had
narrated
the
script
to
Hrithik
months
ago
but
buzz
is
that
Hrithik
has
given
the
nod
to
Farah
Khan's
Satte
Pe
Satta
and
his
date
diary
is
full
with
other
movies
so
he
won't
have
time
to
do
Shankar's
underwater
action
adventure-drama."
Hrithik's
Loss
Is
Shahrukh
Khan's
Gain?
"Apparently,
the
filmmaker
has
now
approached
Shah
Rukh
for
the
same
role.
The
talks
are
just
in
the
very
early
stages.
It's
an
octopus-like
creature
who
possesses
superpowers
and
a
superior
intellect.
It
would
be
exciting
to
have
SRK
give
his
nod
for
this
one
as
he
and
Shankar
have
never
worked
before
earlier.
Shankar
is
also
said
to
have
approached
Jackie
Chan,
Tamil
star
Thalapathy
(as
known
by
his
fans)
Vijay
and
Chinese
actress
Li
Bingbing
for
some
pivotal
roles.
Shankar
was
keen
to
work
with
Hrithik
Roshan
but
it
didn't
work
out."
The
Underwater
Sci-fi
Film
Will
Be
The
First
Of
Its
Kind
In
India
The
report
further
stated,
"The
story
revolves
around
a
gigantic,
octopus-like
creature
(which
lives
in
the
ocean)
possessing
special
powers
as
an
underwater
diver,
a
treasure-hunter
and
a
lighthouse
keeper
begin
a
search
for
it.
Shankar
again
wants
to
make
it
in
3-D
with
the
best
underwater
motion
capture
technology
on
offer.
The
octopus-like
creature
will
be
almost
human
and
have
a
soul
like
ornithologist
Pakshi
Rajan
(Akshay
Kumar)
in
2.0
-
someone
who
can
understand
things
and
react
to
situations.
There
will
be
lots
of
high-octane
action
too.
The
octopus-like
creature
with
superpowers,
the
underwater
sci-fi
movie,
is
a
complex
character
and
will
have
a
strong
background
story
as
to
how
he
became
such."
Shankar's
Film
Will
Be
An
Ambitious
Project
"The
script
is
complete.
Now
Shankar
wants
to
pitch
it
to
international
studios
for
funding
as
the
sci
fi
adventure
drama
is
said
to
be
an
ambitious
and
extremely
expensive
venture
-
with
a
higher
budget
than
2.0,"
further
added
the
source.
