Casting Coup: Hrithik, Zayed in Khan’s next!
Hrithik Roshan has delivered hits for father Rakesh Roshan’s home productions, now it’s time to strike gold for father-in-law Sanjay Khan at the box office. According to an industry source Sanjay Khan, who directed and acted in the popular tele-series ‘The Sword of Tipu Sultan’, is gearing up to direct and produce his next, a film tentatively titled ‘Welcome to Jungle’.
If things go according to plan, son-in-law Hrithik Roshan and beta Zayed Khan will come together to play the lead roles in the film. Khan has been contemplating on this project since a long time. Talks have it that Sanjay will leave no stone unturned as far as this magnanimous project is concerned. “It’s going to have a huge budget,” we are told.
When we called Zayed Khan to confirm the news, he said, “Yes, my father is planning a movie, but it’s too early to talk about it as he is yet to sign the actors.” It can be recalled that before ‘The Sword of Tipu Sultan’, Sanjay tried his hands at direction with films like ‘Kala Dhanda Goray Log’, ‘Abdullah’ and ‘Chandi Sona’. Now, let’s hope the multi-crore project, ‘Welcome to Jungle’ starring Hrithik and Zayed is one ‘roaring’ success.
