Chopra is so smitten by Bachchan that he has signed him for several projects in the future. Vidhu is making a movie named Talisman which will feature AB. This movie was earlier titled Chandrakanta, but the name was eventually changed. It is being directed by Ram Madhvani, and is supposed to be a fantastical film. Ram Madhvani had made a small film called Let’s Talk in 2002 that starred Boman Irani. According to Vidhu, “Talisman is a fantasy; it is Indian’s reply to Lord of the Rings. It is really something that is very huge.â€
What’s interesting is that
they have even shot the trailer of Talisman and it will be shown with Eklavya in theatres. Chopra had used a similar strategy earlier where he shot trailers of Lagey Raho Munnabhai and Eklavya even before the movie went on floors and showcased those trailers during Parineeta.
Apart from Talisman, he will also be showing the trailer of Munnabhai Chale Amrica – the third in the Munnabhai series with Eklavya. That makes Eklavya all the more anticipated.Finally when we ask him about his ambitious project Move 5 which he had planned with Amitabh Bachchan even before Eklavya, Vidhu replies, “The film is surely on. But it will now be called 64 Squaresâ€. If one remembers Move 5 is based on the game of chess.
That justifies the title 64 Squares. With so much on his plate, Vidhu is sure to escalate to dizzying heights of success in Bollywood.
