/> Now even a serious avant-garde director like Sudhir Mishra is changing genres for Anubhav.

One nearly fell off one's chair when one heard that Sudhir was making "an out-and-out action film. "

Informs our source, "The script is a kickass combination of cerebral and physical action, a kind of Bourne Identity Meets Jackie Chaan. It will have a huge star cast and some of the most elaborate action scenes seen on this side of the Hong Kong Kung Fu films. "

Apparently Sinha's friend Shah Rukh Khan is being persuaded to play the main lead, while Irrfan Khan, Arunoday Singh and Vidyut Jamwal are being slotted into the other parts.

The film is ready to go on the floors. But may be pushed forward if Sudhir Mishra gets the final cast of his ambitious project Mehrunissa in place.

The Big B is yet to give his final nod to Mehrunissa.

When contacted Sudhir Mishra admitted to a collaboration with Anubhav Sinha. "But we haven't decided if that would be my next film. It all depends on Mehrunissa. If that takes off then I'll do the film for Anubhav next. "
