Shimit Amin to direct Arjun Kapoor's in 'Aurangzeb'
After Shimit Amin who made Ab Tak Chappan for Ram Gopal Varma after which migrated to Yashraj Films to make the successful Chak De and the dud Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year, another Ram Gopal Varma protégé Atul Sabharwal is ready to make a big-budgeted film for Yashraj.
The film titled Aurangzeb will feature Arjun Kapoor in a double role. But the really interesting a part of the project is the debutant director’s slanted association with Arjun Kapoor.
Sabharwal wrote Arjun’s uncle Anil Kapoor’s murder thriller My Wife’s Murder which Ram Gopal Varma produced.
Says a source, “That’s when Arjun, then a child, vaguely got to grasp Atul. To be now directed by him just shows that it’s small world . And the arena of films is even smaller. Atul desired to direct his own film for Ram Gopal Varma.
But Ramu somehow never got around to provide him a possibility. Atul came to Yashraj where he directed a very good television series Powder. That’s when Aditya Chopra spotted the prospective in Atul and asked him to write down a screenplay. ”
Confirming Atul Sabharwal to be the director of his second film Arjun Kapoor says, “Yes I'M doing the film. ”
As for the film that Arjun will do for his father Boney Kapoor the main points are still being worked out. It could possibly be the only after Aurangzeb.
