Mohanlal in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next?
Rumour mills are abuzz that Malayalam superstar Mohanlal will play an important role in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next directorial venture. The film, tentatively titled as Seven, is rumoured to have Hrithik Roshan and Priyanka Chopra in lead roles. Mohanlal is reported to play one of the husbands of Priyanka Chopra in the multi-starrer film.
Vishal Bhardwaj, who had done trend setting films such as Omkara and Kaminey, is a great fan of Mohanlal. The maverick director flew down to Cochin to meet the four time National award winning actor. Vishal narrated his story to Mohanlal who was in the shooting of a Malayalam film. The actor was impressed with the script and sources close to him confirmed his interest in being a part of the film, which is expected to go on the floors by March 2010.
Mohanlal is no stranger to hindi film audience. He made an impressive debut in Bollywood with Ram Gopal Varma’s Company in 2002. He was also a part of Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag which turned out to be a dud at the box-office. Let’s hope Seven will compensate for that and help Mohanlal make it really big in Bollywood this time.
