Saif to play superhero in Milan Luthria-Bhushan Kumar's next

The wait is finally over as actor Saif Ali Khan has been confirmed as the main lead of T-Series and Milan Luthria's mega film project! The leading lady of the film is still under wraps but the makers promise it is a very strong and challenging role and that she will be one of the top five heroines of the industry.Jointly Produced by Bhushan Kumar and Milan Luthria, the film is slated to be a wholesome entertainer with a strong romantic angle appealing to all types of audiences, with music playing a significant role in the project.
For Bhushan Kumar, Head Honcho of T-Series, this yet to be titled project is the mogul's next big outing after the 2011 Salman Khan-Asin starrer READY, which was a smash hit at the box office. Directed by Milan Luthria, who has had a fantastic run recently with the success of ONCE UPON A TIME IN MUMBAI and THE DIRTY PICTURE, the film will be a character-driven story and an interesting mix of comedy, action, drama and romance creating larger-than-life cinema for movie lovers!
Says Bhushan Kumar, "After READY, my next film will be directed by Milan Luthria. As READY did 100 crore-plus business, we will continue to dabble in film production in a big way. We do not wish to make multiple films but would rather do a few good projects. No run-of-the-mill stuff for us. Milan's film for us is a family entertainer. I am excited. We are very happy to have him on board. We wanted someone who could make people laugh and Saif is perfect. The film will have action, adventure, suspense, comedy and music - in short; it's a complete masala film! We should start filming in 2013."
Milan who is riding high after two back to back super hits is too excited about the film. Quiz him on the superhero angle and Milan is quick to revert, "There are many superhero films out there but this isn't one of them. Ours is a masala entertainer with a twist, that's all that I'll say at this point. Saif and I had always been talking about reuniting again for another film after KACHCHE DHAAGE but somehow nothing materialized. This time he was shooting in Istanbul while I was in Prague. We were speaking to each other over the phone when he reminded me again of doing another film which is when I narrated a plot to him of whose character fit him to the T. He was very thrilled about it and agreed to do the film over the phone itself. It was instinctive for both of us and I'm sure the outcome will be something to watch out for."
