This is Rana’s second Bollywood film after Rohan Sippy’s Dum Maro Dum.

The director's blockbuster Pokiri too was an out-and-out action film.

Puri confirms to Mumbai Mirror, “Yes, I am directing a Hindi film, which will also be made in Telugu. I have signed Rana as the lead actor. The actress has to be yet finalised. The movie will be going on floors next month.”

Sounds like an exciting venture!
