Nishikant Kamat to play the lead in Prawal Raman's next

John Abraham is in a hurry to start Force 2. It is, after all, his only hit

 

in years. However, it seems the star would have to wait. The project goes nowhere without the Force director Nishikant Kamat. And Kamat is at the moment in the mood to act again.Nishikant Kamat to play the lead in Prawal Raman's next

 

After a startling sterling performance in Prawal Raman's 404 last year, Nishikant will now play the central character in Rohit Jugraj's film exploring a criminal mind.

 

Kamat will play a twisted mind that treats criminality as an art form.

 

If John Abraham was hoping to cash in on Force's success, he would have to wait for a while. Quite a while. All that talk of producer Vipul Shah going ahead with the sequel without director Nishikant Kamat if the need arises, has come to a dead-end.

 

It seems the producer and director have mutually decided to carry the Force franchise forcefully forward only when Nishikant is up to it. Says a source, "Earlier, when Nishikant showed a reluctance to plunge into a sequel, Vipul had emergency talks with John and his team. They all decided to do a sequel right away, with or without Nishikant Kamat. However, now it is felt it's better to wait."

 

This is a case of being once beaten and feeling twice shy for Vipul who after a fall-out with Anees Bazmi over Singh Is Kinng has not been able to get the sequel on the road.

 

Says Nishikant cautiously, "I don't think Force 2 is happening without me. Yes, Vipul and I both feel we should go ahead with the sequel together, and only when I have the right script. There's no point in doing a sequel just for the heck of it. See, Force 2 is exactly in the same situation as Don 2 was after Don. Like Don, Force was a remake. So there was a reference point. Now the characters and the story move forward on their own volition. Let's see where it goes."

 

Kamat admits he is up to another acting offer. "Rohit Jugraj has come up with an interesting idea. I like getting into the acting zone. But filmmaking is my main vocation. Acting can only be a punctuation in my story."
