It gives me a big high to be part of diverse themes. It feels great that I am launching new talents and at the same time working with people I have been a fan of and look up to, like Imtiaz and Kabir. It is a great experience to see how they visualize their films.” The film maker is presenting the Imtiaz Ali written, directed, and produced Highway, which is a road film this month on 21^st. Another movie that Sajid is doing with Imtiaz is the Ranbir Kapoor – Deepika Padukone starrer and tentatively named Window Seat. It goes on the floors soon.

Sajid Nadiadwala’s political thriller with Kabir Khan is progressing!

One of the most awaited films of 2014 is the political thriller being made by Sajid Nadiadwala’s production house. The anti-terrorism film is being directed by Kabir Khan and actor Saif Ali Khan along with Katrina Kaif plays the lead role. The movie has uncertainly been named Daniyal Khan, which is being shot in the war struck zone of Beirut and Serbia. The movie is based on the conditions faced by people post the 26/11 terrorist attack. And, thankfully Saif plays a character, which is part of the counter terrorist team this time. With this project, Sajid has moved out of his comfort zone, which was limited to making only commercial movies before this political thriller. Thereby, making the audiences have higher expectations from the producer and his team.

Director Kabir Khan along with actor Saif Ali Khan has done a film based on terrorism before, and therefore knows the difficulty level is high. Kabir has also shot a film at a location in Afghanistan, which makes him comfortable with filming in a war struck area like Beirut. Safety of the entire cast and crew is of course being taken utmost care of. Katrina Kaif, the lead actress also does not stay behind, when it comes to this venture. Her close friend was heard saying, “She is now getting ready for a big challenge. Kabir Khan's new film has her playing a role that would demand high-velocity stunts from her. She would have to train along with Saif Ali Khan for the action scenes in Beirut.” Sajid Nadiadwala must be happy to have a team so dedicated like this.

A source was also heard saying, “Incidentally, Katrina is Sajid’s rakhi-sister from the time when she was in a relationship with his best friend Salman. This is the first time he would be working with her.” Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is recovering from a lower-back injury as of now and would also be joining Saif, Katrina, and Kabir Khan in Beirut very soon!
