Produced by Viki Rajani, NextGen Films, it rolls in September. “Tiger is phenomenal in his action as well as dance and his role in Munna Michael is tailor-made to showcase his winning moves. Sabbir and Tiger have proven their hit pairing and audiences can once again look forward to magic!“ Viki promises. Munna idolises Michael Jackson, and the film will have lots of dance sequences. Leading choreographers from Los Angeles and London will be flown down for the film. “The film will have my usual andaaz ­ power packed action sequences. It'll be a mass entertainer,“ smiles Sabbir, who recently returned from a two-week vacation in Kashmir, Spain and France.

While Baaghi producer Sajid Nadiadwala is keen on a sequel to the 2015-action-thriller, the 26-year-old Tiger is keen to do this film first. “I narrated this story to him a year ago while we were filming Baaghi and it is stuck in his head. He recently reached out to me, asking about it. I narrated the final script to him after he returned from Madrid and he loved it,“ exults Sabbir.

While the director is looking for a leading lady, his hero has already started prepping up for the part.
