After shooting for Ram Gopal Varmas Department with Amitabh Bachchan and Sanjay Dutt,the actor has signed on Aditya Bhattacharyas next. The filmmaker,who made his debut with the critically-acclaimed Raakh that had Aamir Khan in the lead role,will soon start shooting an English movie. A Momentary Lapse of Reason is a film that uses mafia and the underbelly of Los Angeles as the setting. It is being produced by Asif Noor,Bhattacharya and Sunita Tati under the banner of Hyderabad-based Guru Films and is likely to have an international release. Rana perfectly fits the role as the scion of a wealthy Hyderabad industrialist with real-estate ambitions in Los Angeles,who gets brutally sucked into that citys underbelly,setting off a chain of events that sucks him into a vortex of violence. That is till he finds an unlikely ally and mentor in an over-the-hill cop,and the game changes, says Bhattacharya.
