Barely had the dust settled down on Coal Mafia which was making headlines till a few weeks back, Suniel Shetty and Vinod Khanna are coming together in a film that threatens to open the Pandora's Box all over again. This yet untitled film would be directed by Ashu Trikha who has worked with both the actors in the past.

"The film has a realistic theme but it would be narrated in an out and out commercial manner," informs a source, "While Vinod Khanna would be playing a Mafia don, Suniel Shetty would be enacting the part of a highly placed Government official."

Trikha was inspired by some of the current affairs around the Mafia war that had shook the nation. After the release of his last film Enemmy, which had featured Shetty, he gave final touches to this yet untitled film. New entrant A.M.A. Entertainment was happy to come on board and once Vinod Khanna (who was the antagonist in Trikha's debut film Deewanapan with Arjun Rampal) came on board, it was time to put together rest of the cast.

"The film would be mounted on a very heavy scale and would be most likely shot at some real locations in Bihar," the source continues, "There are several other actors, mostly newcomers, and a young boy and girl would have a major part to play in the film. Their names are currently being kept under the wraps."

The film would go on floors early October and would be finished in a start-to-finish schedule by the end of November.

When contacted, Ashu Trikha confirmed the developments. He also promised that the audience would relate to the film due to its topical appeal.
