A clash between Ajay Devgn’s Tezz and Saif Ali Khan’s Agent Vinod may have been narrowly avoided, but comparisons between the two films continue unabated. The latest talk around the two films have centred on the fact that both Saif and Ajay’s roles are drawn from well-known international spy characters. While Agent Vinod’s James Bond inspiration has been widely reported, lately, reports have also started trickling in that Ajay’s Tezz character draws its references from that of Jason Bourne (Bourne trilogy fame).
“Producer Ratan Jain has got the best guys in the business to handle the action sequences for Tezz,” says a source connected to the film. “Tezz’s stunts have been conceptualised by the man behind the Bourne trilogy.” The film, much like Agent Vinod, is supposed to bring in a whole new dimension to B’town action flicks.
“Priyadarshan is really excited about Tezz, which is reflected in the fact that he dedicated a year to its making. He’s been wanting to make a cool looking action film for a long time now and Tezz is his chance to prove it,” our source adds.
Should Saif worry? Perhaps not yet.
