This Rambo remake is being directed by Siddharth Anand. In a recent interview he said “After I complete my current film with Tiger and Hrithik (Roshan), I will start prepping for Rambo from September.
Tiger will begin his prep from November-December and we will set the ball rolling in the new year, shooting both in India and abroad. The recce will begin soon. We have already locked release date, October 2, 2020”.
“Rambo is primarily known for its action, but I can promise you that in my film, the story will resonate too with our audience. It’s a story that needs to be told, given the present politics in the country.
Of course, the action will be big but like Steven Spielberg once said, ‘if it’s action without emotions the audience watches dispassionately’. So, the emotions need to be in sync with the action,” he further added.
Tiger Shroff, who was last seen in Karan Johar’s Student of the Year 2, will reportedly kick off the third installment of Sajid Nadiadwala’s Baaghi franchise, featuring Shraddha Kapoor, in July.
Meanwhile, his other film, Baaghi 3, is slated to hit the screens on March 6, 2020.
