Post Johnny Gaddaar, Sriram Raghavan was to direct John Abraham and Aishwarya in a sci-fi thriller titled Happy Birthday. However with producer Gaurang Doshi falling into legal hassles, the film seems to be stuck up. Raghavan confirms, âYes, Happy Birthday has been shelved. But I would be continuing with the same cast for a different film in a different bannerâ.
So finally John Abraham and Aishwarya Rai will be sharing the screen for the first time in Sriram Raghavanâs next venture and this one will be produced by Rohan Sippy under the banner of RS Entertainment. This film, however, is a completely new project and not Happy Birthday revived. âItâs a love story with an element of thrill in itâ, reveals Raghavan.
Sriram was contemplating of having Amitabh Bachchan in Happy Birthday. With the Sippys coming into picture, the Bachchan access only becomes easier for him. So does he plan to have Big B in this project as well? âThe film is still under scripting stage. If the script demands Mr Bachchan to be there, I will surely approach himâ, explains the director.
Sriram Raghavan is also engrossed with another project on a big scale titled âAgent Vinodâ .Itâs an action film with Saif Ali Khan in the lead role. Saif had also acted in Sriram Raghavanâs directorial debut Ek Haseena Thi.
