EXCLUSIVE: Kichcha Sudeep reveals he plans to cast John Abraham in his next directorial

Kannada star Kichcha Sudeep is soon going to make a huge splash in the Hindi film industry, with Salman Khan starrer Dabangg 3 that releases next Friday. The superstar plays the prime antagonist going one up against Salman in the masala actioner. But that's not all - the actor has been balancing his Hindi projects with other regional films as well.

We hear he will soon begin work on his next directorial. Confirming the same, Sudeep tells us, "Yes, we are planning a film that's a fantasy based on a true incident taken from history. We have blended it and like I said, we have learnt from the failure of Sye Raa that people need to connect, so we're also creating a few things."

Revealing more details about the project, he adds, "I have a character which is a huge role. I still have no idea but probably, we are looking at contacting someone like John Abraham in the film. He fits in like madness. The day I started writing it, I have seen him in it. This is the first time I'm admitting it. We will narrate to him and I hope he likes it." Sudeep further explains that he has a reason to take the film to John. "I find him a great personality and in some of the roles, his silence works for us. That works for us. It's got nothing to do with the Hindi market at all. But as a character and as actor, he suits that the best," he signs off.
