More news →Sangeeth Sivan succeeds in creating 'Network'
Sangeeth Sivan is indeed a happy man. While his recently released 'Apna Sapna Money Money' is turning out to be yet another comedy success this season, he is soon moving on to his 'Die Hard' meets 'Yash Chopra' film starring Nana Patekar and Bobby Deol. But wait, this is not all, there is more to come. An elated Sivan says, "Soon after I am through Nana-Bobby film, I will have another thriller with Nana titled 'Network.' The film is about a relationship between a man and his cell phone. It should require just a 30 days shooting schedule." "Are there any traces of 'Phone Booth?" one asks. "No, not at all," he says, 'Network' is an absolutely original film and is a complete drift from the kind of work I have done. The film actually deals with how a cell phone becomes the cause of this character's death."

"Nana and Bobby are bonding well" - Sangeeth Sivan
"Nana (Patekar) and Bobby (Deol) are really bonding well on the sets", says Sangeeth Sivan, "now that's really helping the progress of my film." Speaking from Chandigarh, Sangeeth Sivan who has two comic hits KYA KOOL HAIN HUM and APNA SAPNA MONEY MONEY under his belt is soon bringing his yet untitled venture towards completion. "Around 60% of the film is completed and once I am done with the ongoing Chandigrah schedule, I would be just left with filming the climax that would take place in Mumbai", he divulges. So is he still undecided about the film's titled? "No, we should have it finalized very soon," says Sangeeth, "we have short listed a few and it's just a matter of picking one from them." So is it going to be an action or romantic title for this much publicized DIE HARD MEETS YASH CHOPRA film? Laughs Sangeeth, "It is going to be an action title and most likely would be in English". Shreya Saran's name came as a pleasant surprise since not many could see that coming. "Well, we were looking for someone who was not a very known face", he says with a matter of fact, "We were auditioning a lot of girls and she also went through the normal process of screen tests. She passed and soon was on!" The film has been in news ever since it was announced. An action thriller with romantic elements, the film stars Bobby in gray shades with Nana playing a law keeper. Recently there was a decent hype built for the film when Bobby's jump from 14th floor for an action sequence made headlines.

"I have never denied my film being ATHADU remake" - Sangeeth Sivan
"I am amused by the reports which say that I am not allowing the news to leak out that my film is a remake of ATHADU", says Sangeeth Sivan who has almost wrapped up the shoot of his yet untitled film which stars Nana Patekar and Bobby Deol in the lead. "We have bought the rights of the film and it is in fact an honor to be associated with a great film like ATHADU. I have never ever denied this fact", says Sangeeth who would be returning to the action genre after around a decade since he made his Bollywood debut with Sunny Deol starrer ZOR.
