Before Salman beats us for our audacity, we'd like to clarify that we're just talking about Hungama
maker Priyadarshan's future project, which is a romantic drama mode.
His next film is inspired by the Milos Forman classic 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest' and will star
the first time coupling of Salman Khan and Kareena Kapoor. The Untitled drama will be shot in Spain
from October.
Says Priyadarshan, "Unlike my other Hindi films, this one isn't a remake." But much like the Jack
Nicholson character in One Flew..., Salman plays a mentally disturbed person in here.
Priyadarshan has just completed Hulchul with Kareena. "She and Akshaye (Khanna) were a joy to
work with.
Though I had worked with others in the cast (Jackie Shroff, Suniel Shetty, Paresh Rawal) those two
were first-timers for me. Hulchul is a love story set amidst two warring familes — a mixture of my
Viraasat and Hungama."
After the Salman-Kareena drama, Priyadarshan will go into another Hindi comedy called Garam
Masala (Akshay Kumar). "That would be a remake of my 1985 Malayalam comedy Boeing Boeing
featuring Mohanlal.
It was inspired by the 1960s' Tony Curtis comedy Boeing Boeing about a man who keeps various
airhostesses dangling in his life."
Salman, a mentally distrubed!
