Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan may again work with Abbas-Mastan – the director duo who placed him on the pedestal of superstardom.
In 1993, director brothers Abbas-Mastan made ‘Baazigar’ with SRK, who was yet to establish his stronghold in Bollywood.
The film went on to become a hit and its villain became Indian cinema’s hero, who stuttered, romanced and drank his way to 70 mm fame and even ended up as a wax figure at Madame Tussauds.
In 1999, Abbas-Mastan again directed SRK in Baadshah , but the film didn’t do well at the box-office.
And now, the duo is again contemplating a stylised thriller with SRK.
“We are in talks with Shah Rukh for a thriller. The subject has to inspire both him and us, but he is very keen to work with us again,” says Abbas.
“It will be a modern film and will look sleek with special effects. However, it has not been decided on whether Shah Rukh will also produce the film,” adds Mastan.
Abbas-Mastan’s forthcoming Naqaab , promises not to be far behind from today’s stylish, super-sleek and fast-paced thrillers.
The film, starring Akshaye Khanna , Bobby Deol and newcomer Urvashi Sharma , which releases next month has a love triangle at its centre, like most Abbas-Mastan thrillers.
