After Shimit Amin who made Ab Tak Chappan for Ram Gopal Varma after which migrated to Yash Raj Films to make the successful Chak De and the dud Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year, another Ram Gopal Varma protege Atul Sabharwal is ready to make a big-budgeted film for Yash Raj.
The film titled Aurangzeb will feature Arjun Kapoor in a double role. However, the really interesting a part of the project is the debutant director's slanted association with Arjun Kapoor.
Sabharwal wrote Arjun's uncle Anil Kapoor's murder thriller My Wife's Murder which Ram Gopal Varma produced.
Says a source, "That's when Arjun, then a child, vaguely got to understand Atul. To be now directed by him just shows that its small world .And the sector of films is even smaller. Atul desired to direct his own film for Ram Gopal Varma. But Ramu somehow never got around giving him a possibility. Atul came to Yash Raj where he directed a very good television series Powder. That's when Aditya Chopra spotted the prospective in Atul and asked him to write down a screenplay."
Confirming Atul Sabharwal to be the director of his second film Arjun Kapoor says, "Yes, I'M doing the film."
As for the film that Arjun will do for his father Boney Kapoor the main points are still being worked out. It may possibly be the only after Aurangzeb.
