'RA.One' director's next project will be an underwater thriller, also featuring sharks

After making his hero (Shah Rukh Khan) chase fast moving trains and jump off skyscrapers in the heart of London in the super hero flick RA.One, director Anubhav Sinha now dives deep into the ocean for his untitled next, which is based on sharks.

A source close to Anubhav whose latest film won the National Award for the best special effects reveals, "Anubhav loves to thrill his audience. His latest outing is an underwater adventure story based on sharks. And not just that, it is the first underwater film to be shot in 3D."

The source adds, "Anubhav is planning to shoot the film either in Australia or Fiji Islands depending on which country gives better subsidies. The magnum opus will have a 300 plus crewmember and he is planning to hire most of the technicians from Down Under."

Talking about the cast of the film, the source reveals, "It will be a multistarrer and will have the top stars. Anubhav is meeting the top Bollywood actors for the film but the casting is not finalised yet. He is currently figuring out the technical team and the locations. His main concern is the 3D aspect." Anubhav Sinha remained unavailable for comment.

In the past

The Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt starrer Blue was the first underwater film in recent times in Bollywood directed by Anthony D'Souza, which turned out to be a box office dud.
