TIL Desk Bollywood/ Filmmaker Sidharth Anand says the Hindi remake of “Rambo”with Tiger Shroff is taking time as it requires a lot of preparation for action sequences. There were reports that the project was shelved but Anand says it is in the pipeline.
“…while Tiger and I were working on these things, another film with YRF came into the picture. For the first lead, we felt Hrithik Roshan was an apt choice. For the second lead I bounced the idea to Tiger,” Anand told.
“I told him that if we do this film now, we will have to push ‘Rambo’. And we both agreed that we give a little bit of more time to prepare (for Rambo). As soon as the shoot of YRF film is over, Anand says, the work will begin on “Rambo”.
The initial plan is to make “Rambo” into a franchise, but that can happen only if the part one does well, he says. “We need to bring the first film out and then see if audience wants to watch more of this character or not. It will go on floors by 2019 end and release in 2020,” he says.
