/> Apoorva Lakhia's new film entitled Mission Istanbul will have many costly stunt sequences. The action director of The Departed George Aguilar has been roped in to do the lavish action sequences for the epic film which promise to have the most lavish stunts ever seen in Indian cinema.

Reveals the film's director Apoorva Lakhia, "George Aguilar is the regular stunt director for all of Martin Scorcese's film. Getting him to do our stunts was a master-stroke, made possible because of my producer Suniel Shetty."

The action sequences would include a war sequence showing insurgent strife in Turkey.

Says Lakihia, "For the war sequence the Turkish government will be providing us with helicopters, tanks and the locations. It will be filmed on a scale never seen in our cinema."

Says the film's raring-to-go director Apoorva Lakhia, "Mission Istanbul is loosely based on all the terrorist activities that have been going on all around.

If among the recent films you were to ask me to pinpoint one source of reference it'd have to be The Last King Of Scotland where the incident about the toppling of Idi Amin was true. But the rest of the characters were fictional.

My protagonist goes through these strange experiences. It'd be great fun. I've never done anything like this before."
