Sanjay Gupta and Apoorva Lakhia are pairing up to make a realisticly original movie. The movie is based on a shootout incident that happened in Mumbai’s posh Lokhandwala area and will be titled ‘Shootout’ or ‘Shootout at Lokhandwala’. Gupta’s favorite actor Sanjay Dutt will be repeated in this one too.

Lakhia (Ek Ajnabee) and Gupta’s (Zinda) last films were blatant copies of foreign films but this time two have decided to make a movie on real life incident. The film is going to be yet another thriller by Sanjay Gupta’s production company White Feather Films.

Apart from Sanjay Dutt, ‘Shootout’ will star Arjun Rampal, Javed Jaffery. Search is on for the female leads and two more male actors. Lakhia and Gupta are said to have talked with Vivek Oberoi and Emraan Hashmi for the roles but nothing has been finalized as yet. (more…)
