Saqib who is garnering rave reviews for his role as the gay journalist in Bombay Talkies is all set to play a pivotal role in actor- director-activist Amole Gupte's next directorial venture which would centre around the sport of roller-skating.

While Amole who is known to work closely with street children remained tight lipped about the project a source close to the project informs, `It's a project very close to Amole's heart. He wanted to make this film immediately after he worked closely with Aamir Khan on Taare Zameen Par.

But since the role required a large number of children to be trained in roller- skating and also a leading man who could look convincing as their coach, Amole put the project on hold and made Stanley Ka Dabba first. `

The film requires the protagonist to be an expert on roller skates. Saqib has begun to learn rollerskating from scratch.

It is the story of how a bunch of kids are brought together for a rollerskating tournament.

Saqib plays the coach.

And yes, Amole Gupte's very talented son Partho who stole innumerable hearts in Stanley Ka Dabba would be playing a pivotal role.

The film would be shot during the summer vacations to ensure the kids' studies and school are not affected.
