With half a dozen films in different stages of production, Ghibran seems to be one of the busiest composers in K’Town. While the Chennai 2 Singapore music director gears up for the audio launch of two of his films, he has been roped in for a Hollywood project, whose script has been penned by Antony Mithradas, a 103-year-old director, known for his 1955 Malayalam film Harishchandra.
Confirming the news, Ghibran’s close aide says, “He has given his official nod for the script, but is yet to sign on the dotted lines. The story of this untitled venture is based on an incident that happened in Belgium during World War I. The team is currently in talks with several Hollywood actors and technicians to be part of the team.”
Though Hollywood actor Arnod Schwarzenegger’s name is being tossed around, the source has reiterated that nothing has been confirmed yet. It is to be noted that Arnold was approached to play the antagonist in Shankar’s 2.0, but talks fell through midway.
Also, the source added that Antony may not direct the flick — “Owing to his age, he won’t be directing the film. However, he has roped in a potential filmmaker to helm the project.”
The official confirmation regarding the director and the rest of the cast will be announced in the coming days.
