Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Rahul Dholakia Come Together For An Ac

After the 2017 crime-drama, Raees, Ritesh
Sidhwani and Farhan Akhtar are once again
joining hands with Rahul Dholakia for an
action-thriller which is expected to roll early
next year.
Set in Mumbai, this close-to-life story
revolves around a fire-fighter named
Tukaram and how he motivates his team to
tackle various SOS calls.
The project is not a biopic of any one
person but will weave in several real-life
incidents, along with an emotional father-
son story, with an antagonist thrown in to
create friction.
Ritesh Sidhwani, Farhan Akhtar, Rahul
Dholakia Come Together For An Action-
Thriller
The National Award-winning director, Rahul
Dholakia dabbled with a lot of ideas before
zeroing in on this one, and points out that
with the exception of Ravi Chopra's 1980
The Burning Train, the subject of the fire
hasn't been tackled in Hindi mainstream
cinema in a big way.
While talking about the same, Rahul
Dholakia shared, "But a series of fires in the
city of late makes me believe that it's time
for a film that celebrates these unsung
heroes. For me, the firefighters are on par
with cops and soldiers, but their heroics
have gone largely unacknowledged even in
a city of skyscrapers. They put their lives on
the line every other day to put out and save
us from fires which sometimes spark off
from our own carelessness and violation of
safety norms. They are also called to pull a
child out of a borewell, rescue a kitten from
the roof, clear an uprooted tree from the
road and help during a building collapse or
a deluge. Even during the 26/11 attacks
they played a significant role in the rescues
but went unheralded'.
Rahul Dholakia has always been fascinated
by firefighters and during his research, has
met many in person, visited fire stations
and even been on few trails with Randeep
Hooda, the face of the Mumbai Fire Brigade
and the brand ambassador of fire services
in India

"A film like this offers plenty of scope for
emotions and drama, action and visual
thrills, with a larger-than-life protagonist at
the centre, the surroundings and story-
telling technique bringing in the realism,
Rahul points out.
National Award-winning dialogue writer,
Vijay Maurya, who has films like Chillar Party
as a writer and Tumhari Sulu as an actor to
his credit, and is now working with Kabir
Khan on his World Cup cricket drama, 83,
and Zoya Akhtar on her upcoming musical
Gully Boy, has been collaborating with Rahul
on the dialogues.
Rahul also shares, "Farhan has contributed
a lot of inputs to the script and Ritesh is a
brilliant producer. This is a big film and will
cost a lot. It requires sensitive makers
because while being visually dramatic, it
needs to be an experience' for the
audience to see and feel. Having worked
with Farhan and Ritesh on Raees, I can't
think of anyone better to take this film
forward with me.
Rahul Dholakia has a final narration with
the producer duo in a couple of days after
which they will start on the casAfter the

I think if they cut down the budget the movie might do well.
Raaes did grossed big reasonable but its high cost was why it wasn't a clean hit.
