‘Rustom’ to be directed by Tinu Suresh Desai, not Neeraj Pandey

It was earlier reported that Akshay Kumar’s Independence Day 2015 release would be directed by Neeraj Pandey. However, the press statement has revealed that the film will mark the directorial debut of Tinu Suresh Desai. 

Back in 2013, Tinu was signed to direct the third film in the ‘1920’ horror franchise. When that film did not happen, Tinu started scripting a romantic thriller, which was later titled ‘Rustom’.

He was keen on signing Akshay Kumar, who agreed to do the film.

In the statement, Neeraj Pandey had said “When Tinu narrated ‘Rustom’ to us, we immediately got hooked to the quality of the narrative and its potential and instantly decided that it was something that we would like to produce. We also really felt that given the nature of the story, Akshay would be the perfect fit and him agreeing to come on board will definitely give it the canvas it requires”

Rustom releases in theatres on August 12 2016.

  • His last 5 releases struggled to cross 80cr mark without any clash, imagine how much Rustom will collect with clash with Mohenjodaro!!!

  • But I don’t want this film should create trouble to my favourite Ashutoshji’s movie,better rustom/Mahenjodaro like quality movies should postpone to CHRISTMAS 2016 and should clash with fanless amir’s classless dangal pandey,then it’ll be interesting.bit wait wait,I think GOURI SHINDE’S NEXT will likely to announce their release on NEXT CHRISTMAS then IT’LL be a CLASH YEAR and every star get equal chance of competing with each other ,then fake brand and masala remake star’s stardom will be exposed,ROFL.

    And peoples,which movie you think will get NEXT FILMFARE

    FAN
    RAEES
    GOURI SHINDE’S NEXT
    ANAND L RAI’S NEXT

    IT’S KING KHAN VS KING KHAN IN QUALITY WAR NEXT YEAR ONWARDS.

    aamir = 2 films
    salman = 5 films
    srk = 4 films
    hrithik = only 2
    ajay = 6 films
    hardworking man akshay = 11 films

  • It should clash with ‘Fan’ if possible, as Srk has no more fans to make his film a hit this time, 0.9 TRP SSK proved how many fans he has lol.

  • Happy Birthday Akshy Kumar!!…..one of my favorite actors! he has grown a lot as an actor; with both choices of his films as well as with his acting. from a good actor to very good actor, and now after watching some of his last few performances, i can rate him as a superb actor!

    coming to the Article, i think after hearing the news that it won’t be directed by Neeraj Pandey, some users might lose their interest, but not me actually! i think this film might have something special; Neeraj Pandey, was hooked by narrative, just shows, there might be something special in it!

  • @NVS: If you are seeing this comment!
    It was a nice try by you to reconcile both the akki and salman fans and as I promised I did’nt said a word against Salman in last few days but today reading comments of your companions like tiger,ultron,anand_original I just want to say that better prepare for my ASSAULT!!
    These shameless morons are calling him joker boy,chakki kumar,gobar and all these things on his Birthday!! On the other side,look at SRK fans,none of them have said anything to Akki and they are much much better than you morons..
    So better be ready now you Criminal bhaitards!!

  • akashay pagal hogaya hai .how dare you clash with hritik ??????? clash hi karna hai tho tushar kapoor ki film se karo tab jaake avreg hoga tumara movie otherwise diasater…

  • Sorry Akshay with full respect to u..I think u know u r gonna clash with Bollywood Shahensha. U should think of averting the clash. W/o clash it has been awful for u so think its Mohenjo Daro , a HR movie that too after almost 2 yrs

  • i don’t understand why some ppl always have to be pessimistic… yaar ye akki ki koi masala film nahin hai its pure class romantic-thriller film which could impress audience as well as critics…. 3 yrs back in diwali srk’s jab tak hai jaan and ajay’s sos clashed result both films were winners…. even though sos was nonsense film… most of the romantic films always works at boxoffice…

  • @virat kohli bachee pehle badaa hoja phir hum badey logo ke saath akey baat karna… just like your behavior your comments are just too immature… grow up get some proper education then come and comment..

  • so many good films coming next yr
    airlift, mohenjo daro, rustom, shivaay, raes, sultan, dangal, and housefull 3 hope all of them do well at boxoffice

  • nxt year will be do &die situtation for srk as from last five years he was doing crap movies. no worry for aamir as audiences trust on him badly and without good songs dance numbers,slapstick comedy,over the top actions, w/o popular heroine etc audiences knows that he will delever better and new product with collections and contend agreed he had less fans but having trusted audiences.
