Director Anthony D'souza, who made his directorial debut with one of Bollywood's costliest films "Blue", is gearing up for a sci-fi action adventure in 3D.

Underwater thriller "Blue", starring Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt, was made at a cost of Rs.100 crore but it tanked at the box office.

It would be in the line of Will Smith-starrer Hollyood film "Independence Day", divulged Sidhartha.

"The film will be in 3D. It will have all the elements of alien spaceships attacking and how our heroes save the country, " he said.

It's too early to cast for the film as it's going on floor early next year, said Sidhartha.

"We have not decided on casting as yet... but we definitely will have a very exciting cast, " said Sidhartha. "We will start shooting early next year and we are planning to have its theatrical release in summer 2013, " he added.
