Though they have been around for decades, Anil Kapoor and Ajay Devgn have never featured in a film together. Director Priyadarshan, a favourite of both stars, might just have the honour of helming a film featuring the two.
Buzz is that Priyan is planning a film called Bullet Train with the duo. The project is in the extremely initial stages with plans to shoot it entirely in London.
Devgan is currently working with Priyan in Aakrosh (formerly called Garam Hawa) along with Akshaye Khanna and Bipasha Basu.
Says a source, "Priyan has sounded off Anil and Ajay and both have agreed to be part of the project. It is in the scripting stage at the moment."
Informs Devgn, "It's a stylised action film based around a heist or robbery. We start in October."
Priyadarshan however prefers to be guarded. He says, "As soon as I wrap up Aakrosh, I begin work on my next movie with a bunch of newcomers. This will be around July-end and it will be a start-to-finish project. Only after this film can I think about my next."
He adds, "I have not yet decided on my next project or stars. I am working with both Anil and Ajay. Rose Movies has approached me to remake their Rajesh Khanna-starrer The Train. At the moment, it is Aakrosh followed by the movie with freshers that will be youth-centric. A casting agency is deciding on the cast for the project."
But the source maintains, "As it is too early, Priyan is playing safe and not talking about it. But the stars are looking forward to be part of the heist film."
