Hrithik Roshan is all set to be directed by Ram Gopal Varma. As part of his Rs 35 crore three films deals with Adlabs, Hrithik will do a film that is to be directed by Varma.
The film will have Hrithik apparently playing a role akin to Hollywood counterpart Rambo. The film has tentatively been titled Aryan. Varma has been approached by Adlabs to pen a script and direct this film. A rough script has been formed and the film will be an action one in keeping with Varma’s style. The budget for the film is set at around Rs. 40 crore and it will be set in Afghanistan. Hrithik’s secretary claimed, “Nothing has been finalised yet.” However, sources claim that Hrithik will indeed be doing a film to be directed by Varma.

Tabu in Vikram Phadnis film
Fashion designer Vikram Phadnis is ready to direct his first feature film. The young designer has been toying with the idea of venturing into filmmaking for quite a while now. He had approached Madhuri Dixit, of whom Phadnis claims to be a huge fan, for his movie. But things didn’t work out.
Now, Phadnis has reportedly signed Tabu to play the lead role in his film. Tabu is a good friend of Phadnis and has been encouraging him to direct a film.
Phadnis says when he narrated the story idea of his film to Tabu, she did not take more than a few seconds to give her consent.
Interestingly, the film will not be high on glamour quotient. Phadnis says he wants to make a movie that is rich in emotions. Of course, he wants the film to be visually beautiful, too.
