Bhagnani who sees immense potential in Ahmed has managed to rope in Abhishek Bachchan, Tusshar Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor for the film. A R Rahman will compose the music.

Nana Patekar makes a comeback

He hasn't had a release in 18 months. But Nana Patekar will be back with a bang with his new films -- Vadh which pairs him with Anupama Verma and Boney Kapoor's Shakti where he plays the grey-tinged role of Karisma's totalitarian father-in-law, from whom Karisma wants to escape with her son.

Hopefully, these two films will fare better than his last film Tarkieb.
