MUMBAI: Tips Films’ next movie to go on floors will be the Harman Baweja starrer Abhimanyu (tentative title). Baweja, who debuts in Bollywood with Love Story 2050 in December this year opposite Priyanka Chopra, will play the title role in Abhimanyu.
The movie is slated to go on floors in October in Mumbai with its first schedule spanning 20 days and is being made on a budget of Rs 170 – 180 million (Rs 17 – 18 crores).
Abhimanyu will be directed by Kuki Gulati, who has earlier directed music videos Doorie, Something Something and Jazzy B for Tips.
“Abhimanyu is a sleek action film. To direct the film we needed someone who is technically sound and experienced and Gulati fitted the bill. Alan Amin will be action director,” Tips managing director Kumar Taurani tells Businessofcinema.com.
