Director Ashutosh Gowariker is known for making period dramas and was particularly lauded for his film ‘Jodhaa Akbar’. Now, it looks like the filmmaker will be playing to his strengths for his next project also.
According to reports, his next film will be based on a fierce historical battle and actors Arjun Kapoor and Sanjay Dutt are being considered to star in the endeavour.
According to sources, “Last week, Sanjay and Arjun had a long meeting with Ashutosh at his Khar office and the trio locked the details of the project. The script is in its final stages of fine-tuning and recce has been underway for the last few months.”
The source claims that while Arjun has been chosen recently, the director wanted to work with Dutt, having disclosed last year that he was writing a role keeping him in mind.
The film will be set between the 16th and 18th centuries and will focus on three extensive real-life battles.
