Arjun Rampal’s rustic cop avatar is Chakravyuh will soon be offset by a stylised role in his next film – a stylised action thriller titled D-Day. The makers of the film have roped in Tom Struthers, a renowned action director from Hollywood. “He has worked on films such as Inception, The Dark Knight and Blood Diamond to name a few. Since D-Day is set to be very high on action, several hi-profile names were considered. The need of the hour was some international talent and that’s how Tom stepped on board,” says our source.
Sources close to Arjun say that he is very excited to work with Tom. “His last out-and-out action film was Asambhav, but over the last couple of years he has been balancing dramatic roles well with action. He delivered quite a few kicks and punches in Ra.One and Rajneeti. But D-Day is going to take him into a different zone altogether,” says a source.
There are rumours that indicate Shruti Haasan, Arshad Warsi and Huma Qureshi will be joining Arjun for D-Day, which is about a bunch of RAW agents who are assigned to bring gangster Dawood Ibrahim back from Pakistan to Delhi.
While Arjun will be playing one of the main RAW agents, one wonders who would be essaying the role of Dawood. Watch this space.
