After the 2015 hit, Gabbar Is Back, featuring Akshay Kumar and Shruti Haasan, director Krish is all set to return with a buddy cop film. His second Hindi movie, which he signed on Friday, is a masala film with lots of action and comedy, with the essence being male bonding. Gearing up for a recce, he plans to shoot across the country. “One of the cops is from down South and the other from up North. And despite hailing from different parts of the country, with different perspectives, they become one,“ says Krish.

Any plans of approaching his Gabbar, Akshay Kumar? “I would love to work with him again,“ Krish smiles, but refuses to say more.

Ajit Thakur of Trinity Pictures, a franchise studio of Eros International, which will produce the as-yet-untitled project, reiterates that the film is about two contrasting characters coming together for a common mission. “The genre hasn't really been explored much in the past and we are really excited. It will be shot in Hindi and Tamil simultaneously,“ he informs. The bilingual is jointly being written by Shridhar Raghavan, K. Subhash and Dheeraj Rattan.
