Filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker, who is widely popular for directing intense period dramas, it seems as the director is now trying different genres to explore his level of creativity. While Gowariker has already been signed by Hollywood studio Akon Entertainment for an International musical series, it has been learned that he is also prepping for his next film for Excel Entertainment banner.

Media reports suggest that Ashutosh Gowariker's next Hindi directorial will be a contemporary action film and will feature Farhan Akhtar in the lead. The yet-untitled film is said to be set in a forest and will have Akhtar playing the role of a forest ranger, an officer charged with the patrolling and guarding of a forest.

The film is said to be a big-budget venture and will have another Bollywood superstar playing the villain in the film. "This project is believed to be a special one as Farhan's father, the legendary Javed Akhtar himself is writing this film with a team of writers. It will mark his comeback as a story and screenplay writer after almost 15 years. The scripting is currently at the final stage and will likely be locked by the year-end," revealed a media source.

The forest drama is expected to go on floors mid-next year! Meanwhile, Farhan Akhtar is expected to shoot for Mahesh Mathai's Rakesh Sharma biopic that has been in the news since 2018.
