Bollywood’s Bourne Identity to roll soon

  • IndiaGlitz, [Wednesday,August 19 2009]

‘Spy, spy mortgaging your lives’ – possibly, most of the Hollywood’s espionage flicks were based on this concept. Be it ‘Departed, ‘Body of Lies’ or ‘Recruit’: these films were stunningly spelled based on this motif. Maybe, for a very long time Indian filmmakers weren’t much adhered to spy stories until now.

But here comes ‘Crooked’ produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani under the banner of Excel Entertainment. Reportedly, the film seems to be made in the same patterned style of Hollywood’s top-charting spy based film ‘Bourne Identity’.

The film features Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Gunal Pag, Boman Irani, and Jimmy Shergill in lead roles. Shooting will hit the floors in Mumbai on January 4, followed by other schedules in Greece, Thailand, London and Istanbul at a full-stretched schedule of 40 days.

Closer sources have revealed that Abhishek and Aishwarya Rai are not cast opposite each other in this film.
