Madhur Bhandarkar excited to make an action film on sand mafia

Madhur Bhandarkar has never made an action film till date and the new one will be a new venture for him.

Filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar, who is making Inspector Ghalib -- a movie based on sand mafias -- says he always wanted to make an action film.

Madhur Bhandarkar last made Indu Sarkar.

Bhandarkar was interacting with the media at fashion designer Shruti Sancheti’s new collection preview here on Thursday. “I have just announced a film called Inspector Ghalib. It is based on sand mafias and it is set in Uttar Pradesh. It’s an action film. I always wanted to do an action film, but I never made it. I think it is necessary for a filmmaker to make at least one action film because in that space, you can show a different environment and world to the audience.”

He is yet to cast any actor for the film. “There are media reports I have cast a certain actor for my film, but it is not like that at all. Till now, I haven’t taken a decision about it. I have finished the scripting of the film but there are many other factors on which we are still working. So, once it will be completed, then I will be able to tell the media that when I am going to begin shooting of the film,” he added.

Bhandarkar’s last outing was Indu Sarkar.
