Robert De Niro — widely regarded as one of the best actors the world has ever seen — has reportedly given the nod to share screen with one of the best talents the Indian film industry has ever produced, Amitabh Bachchan.

What’s more? The film will be directed by Paul Schrader, one of the best directors to come out of Hollywood. The Hollywood director had made a secret trip to Mumbai a couple of months back for location hunting. The person who was assisting him throughout the trip was Bollywood director Anubhav Sinha, who was instrumental in bringing the director to Mumbai and will be collaborating with Schrader on the project. The film will be shot extensively in New York, Mumbai and Dubai.

Confirms Anubhav, “Yes, we (Paul Schrader and him) are working on a big project that will involve A-list stars from both Hollywood and Bollywood. But I won’t be able to reveal details right away.”

Amitabh Bachchan, on the other hand, had confirmed to After Hrs in August this year that Paul Schrader has already had a preliminary discussion about the film when he was in Paris at that time. Bachchan said, “His (Schrader’s) coordinator came and met me in Paris with a project idea. We will be progressing further later…”
