Sanjay Gupta threw a grand bash to announce the launch of his next film, Acid Factory, over the weekend. Directed by Suparn Verma (of Ek Khiladi Ek Haseena fame), the film stars Fardeen Khan, Aftab Shivdasani, Dino Morea, Manoj Bajpai, Danny Denzongpa and Irrfan Khan. But if you thought that Gupta only specialises in dark, action-packed thrillers, you are in for a surprise. He is all set to change gears and make a film based on noted author Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni's novel Vine of Desire.
“I am planning to make a film on Vine of Desire and Pooja Bhatt will be directing it,” said Gupta. “It's a very emotional story based on the life of two half-sisters. The film is now in pre-production, so we haven't finalised the cast. It will go on the floors by the end of this year.”
Gupta also has a light-hearted film up his sleeve. The script of Milte Hai has been written by Meghna Gulzar. “Milte Hai is a romantic comedy. It is also in pre-production and should start rolling in a couple of months”, he said.
