“John’s stylized action in Rocky Handsome will go to another level” – Nishikant Kamat : Bollywood News

After the very successful Force, director Nishikant Kamat has teamed up again with John Abraham for another action film. But in a completely different mood.

Revealing his action plans Nishikant said, "I have done one kind of action in Force. Doing the same thing again would be self-defeating and repetitive. We're taking the action to another level in Rocky Handsome. Here the stunts would be very stylized, almost choreographed."

Nishikant says he needed to shoot John's action scenes in a controlled studio atmosphere. "That's why I'm shooting in Hyderabad. I am shooting a fight sequence on a slippery steam-filled road. The fights would have a choreographed quality about them."

Though Nishikant is not giving details it is learnt that John's stunts would be in the style that the South Korean actor Won Bin had adopted in The Man From Nowhere, the film which Rocky Handsome adapts.

"Mind you, it is a very loose adaptation," warns Nishikant. "We are moulding and contemporizing the original. There is no point in doing a remake unless you take the original to another level."

Shruti Haasan has been cast as John's wife, while a 7-year old child actress named Diya plays a very important character.

Says Nishikant, "She has many scenes with John. She is very important to the script. But she's a child and we can only shoot when she wants to. So we've to adjust our schedules according to her requirements."

Nishikant would be shooting his South Korean adaptation until the end of July. He takes a small break in the second week of July to come to Mumbai for the release of his Marathi film Lai Bhari.

Says Nishikant, "If the audience expects another Marathi film like Dombivali Fast from me they are in for a shock. Lai Bhari is completely in the Rowdy Rathore space."
