“With most directors, one can guess what kind of film it will be since they often operate in one kind of genre. But when it comes to Shimit Amin, you just can’t assume anything. All his three films were drastically diverse. Ab Tak Chhappan was about underworld and Mumbai police. Chak De India dealt with hockey while Rocket Singh – Salesman Of The Year was one-of-its-kind-film on corporate structure. Moreover, YRF has fiercely kept all details under wraps. So, it’s next to impossible to find out any more details. What is confirmed, however, is that Shimit Amin’s next with YRF is on,” the source says in conclusion.
An official announcement is highly awaited.
