"

Force

is an action love story. Its a complete Bollywood package and full of action. The movie is an wholesome entertainer," Kamath said.

The film, a remake of the 2003 Tamil smash hit

Kaakha Kaakha

by Gautham Menon, is about a dutiful cop chasing a dreaded gangster.

Kamath made John work a hard on his body to gain muscle power and get a eight pack in order to play a cop.

"Working with John was easy. We have known each other for a long time and it's always good to work with someone you know. The level of understanding is high."

Force

is produced by Vipul Amrutlal Shah of

Namaste London

and

Singh is Kinng

fame and will hit theaters in July.

Besides direction, Kamath recently tried his hands in acting in the movie '404' and found it an exciting experience.

"Acting was good, but direction is more interesting. I will stick to the latter," he said.

In

404

, Kamath plays a professor who is writing a thesis on the non-existence of the paranormal. The thesis aims at proving that what we call paranormal experiences are hallucinations and mind games.

"I had to study the character a lot, it was not easy playing it. I did a lot of research for the role and studied psychology professors closely," he said.
