Saif & Neil In Director Duo Abbas Mustan’s Next

Abbas Mustan’s official remake of Hollywood blockbuster Italian Job with Saif Ali Khan had hit a roadblock recently when the men in white couldn’t get a proper star cast. But now the problem is solved as the makers have made up their mind to cast Neil Nitin Mukesh, Bipasha Basu and Kareena Kapoor along with Saif in the film.
The Hollywood film was also a remake of a British film by the same name having Michael Caine in the lead. And so Abbas Mustan wanted cool dudes to be part of its desi remake. But when from John Abraham to Ranbir Kapoor couldn’t give them the desired dates, they settled for Neil. As for Saif, he was on board the film from the first day the idea struck the makers.

The film is a crime thriller about two thieves who pull off an amazing stunt of creating the biggest ever traffic jam in Los Angeles. It’s still not sure whether the shooting will take place in Los Angeles or not but there are possibilities that it will. Commenting on the film, Abbas-Mustan said that they have considerably altered the script of the film. There will be two female characters in the film, which was not case in the original. Charlize Theron had played the single female lead role in the film while Kareena Kapoor and Bipasha Basu are accommodated in the desi version. Source
