Shabd is a thriller about a writer (Dutt), his second wife (Rai), and a professor (Khan). Interestingly, Dutt's role was first offered to Ajay Devgan and Akshay Kumar.
With music from Vishal-Shekhar, the film will go on the floors in June.
At the moment, the careers of the three lead members of the cast are going very well. Ash put on a negative act for the first time in her last film, Rajkumar Santoshi's Khakee. Starring Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgan and Tusshar Kapoor, the film was a winner.
Sanjay Dutt's Munnabhai MBBS had a slow start. But the comic caper started a new lingo trend and became one of the bigger hits of 2003.
The Zayed Khan-starrer Main Hoon Na hit theatres on April 30 and has been running to full houses for almost a week. Directed by Farah Khan, the film also stars Shah Rukh Khan, Sushmita Sen, Suniel Shetty and Amrita Rao.
