Wanted:Dead And Alive

Wanted:Dead and Alive is an action thriller directed by noted choreographer and actor-turned-director Prabhu Deva. The film has Salman Khan and Ayesha Takia playing the lead pair. Wanted is a remake of the 2006 Telugu flick Pokkiri. Prabhu Deva directed the Tamil remake with the same title in 2007.

Wanted tells the rivalry between two gangs who want to rule Mumbai. Salman Khan plays Radhe, a mafia goon who works for the dreaded gangster Gani Bhai, but on his own terms. Fearless and powerful, Radhe eliminates Gani Bhai's enemies one by one but makes more enemies for himself. Ayesha Takia plays Jhanvi, who is the love interest of Radhe.

Wanted will see Salman Khan in a full-on action role after a gap of five years. His last action film was Garv which was released in 2004. Salman pins a lot of hopes on the movie as his last few releases failed to make any impact at the box office. Wanted will also mark the directorial debut of Prabhu Deva in Bollywood who will also appear in a cameo in the movie.

Produced by Boney Kapoor, Wanted has music by Sajid-Wajid. Salman Khan has sung as a song for the film. Nirav Shah and S Sriram share the credit for cinematography. Vijayan is the action director.

Wanted is scheduled for release on September 18, 2009.
