Chalo China to start in April

Abhinay Deo’s next likely to go on floors in July-August

Film-maker Abhinay Deo who has been busy last year with Anil Kapoor’s 24, is finally set to start his next film after Delhi Belly, this year. The director has two scripts ready, but he is yet to lock which one will go on floors first. “There are two scripts that I’m dabbling with, and any one of them will start, depending on which film’s cast gets locked first. It’s difficult for me to say which one will go on floors first, because we’re still in the process of talking to actors for both these films,” says Deo. Ask him about the genre of these films, and he says, “One of the scripts is an out-and-out comedy, with a love angle to it. Delhi Belly was a different kind of comedy all together, so for me it’s like pushing the envelope again. And the second film is like a buddy film, which also has a lot of drama to it. I think both the territories are very interesting.”
The film is likely to go on floors in July-August, this year, and the cast should hopefully be announced in a month or so, confirms the director. Meanwhile, Deo is also working on an hour-long film for MTV, as a part of their show called MTV Films. — ARK
