Ameesha is all enthusiastic to play the role of a rich, glamorous girl in the film. And Neil's character of a local rowdy goon will be reminiscent of his "Johnny Gaddar" days.
With an increasing number of reports that actor Ameesha Patel was slowly getting away from signing Bollywood films and getting headlong into filmmaking, the actor has finally got a reason to cheer. Ameesha has now signed a film with actor Neil Nitin Mukesh in the lead which will be made by South Indian director Susi Ganeshan.
“Ameesha has signed a film with South India director Susi Ganesan. He is remaking his film Thiruttu Payale (a hit in Tamil) in Hindi with Ameesha and Neil in the lead,” says a statement on behalf of the actor.
Ameesha too confirmed that she has signed the film and that she is looking forward to start shooting for the film. “I am very happy to do such a thrilling film. Very excited to do a film of this genre again. It’s a very intelligent script and a step forward from the same genre of suspense thrillers that I have been part of before,” says Ameesha.
“The film is a suspense thriller with an under tone of romance. It’s actually a cat and mouse chase between the two protagonists. The film was a major hit in the south doing and has done a business of over 60 crores (considered a super hit business figure for the South industry). The Hindi film is called Short Cut Romeo,” says a source.
According to sources close to the actor, Ameesha decided to sign the movie because for the past few years, south remakes in Bolywood have done major business and Ameesha wanted to cash in on the popularity wave of south Indian films.
“For the last two years, mostly remakes of South Indian films are being made into Hindi and are doing tremendous business... Wanted, Dabangg, Bodyguard, etc and Ameesha wanted to take advantage of this wave. She has seen the original version of the movie and liked it a lot. The advantage with south remakes is that, you already have a superhit film in your hands, all you need to do is that tweak it to fit Bollywood sensibilities in such a way that it becomes even more appealing,” the source adds. Multitasking in her new role of an actor-turned-producer, she confesses to have little time to relax and is concentrating full-time on making fun films with David Dhawan and Priyadarshan. "There's another surprise coming from my production house soon," she signs off excitedly.
