Bollywood is preparing a remake of the cult Hollywood action film "Rambo", and even with the rising star of Indian cinema Tiger Shroff starring. The film will be produced by several major Bollywood studios: M! Capital Ventures, Original Entertainment, Impact Films и Siddharth Anand Pictures.
Will direct the action movie Siddhard Anand, who has previously directed films such as "Everything will be fine" (2007) "The Stranger and the Stranger" (2010) "Bang Bang" (2014) and others.
The plot of the film will tell the story of Rambo, a survivor of difficult operations and a former member of an elite military unit in India, who returns home to start a new war. Trapped in the dangerous jungles and frozen mountains of the Himalayas, Rambo wreaks havoc and destruction, becoming the killing machine he was trained to be.
The producers of the film include people such as Daljit DJ Parmar ("Ashamed"), Samir Gupta (“16 blocks”), Hungt Lowry ("Donnie Darko") Sarub Gupta (“The Extraordinary Adventures of the Fakir”) and Gulzar Inder Chahal. Apparently a Bollywood project "Rambo" is planned to be a major and expensive film.
For now except Tiger Shroff there is no one in the cast. By the way, the actor and martial artist has already spoken about the upcoming project:
Being a martial artist and a huge action movie buff since childhood, it all seems very surreal and I am very grateful for this opportunity. I don't believe at all that I can replace the legendary Sylvester Stallone, however, I feel that I have somehow been preparing for this event since childhood.
Director Siddhard Anand also spoke about his film:
"Rambo" is one of the most iconic blockbuster films of my generation. I grew up watching heroes like Stallone and at a time when the Indian film industry is starved of action heroes of the caliber of Rambo, the perfect opportunity comes to introduce Tiger in the role. I can't wait to work with Tiger in this film. He has such an aura of strength and vulnerability at the same time that makes him an action hero of our day.
Production of the Bollywood remake of Rambo is scheduled for early 2018, but in the meantime, Tiger Shroff fans are waiting for his new dance-action film "Munna Michael" и extension hit of 2016 "Rebel".
Indonesian judo champion, martial artist and actor Joe Taslim, well known to fans of action cinema for his prominent role in the already cult action film "Raid", will appear in a historical action drama produced in South Korea.
Despite the small number of projects, Joe managed to work not only in Indonesian cinema of various genres, but also in Hollywood, playing supporting roles in blockbusters such as Fast & Furious 6 (2013) and "Star Trek Beyond" (2016) director Justina Lina. However, the time has come for Taslim to star in a real historical epic, which received the simple title "Swordsman" (Swordsman).
Film studios are producing the film Opus Pictures и Paradigma Pictures, and at the director’s helm is Choi Jae-hoon, for whom “The Swordsman” is his debut in a big movie.
The film is about a blind swordsman and his daughter, whose story unfolds in the ruins of the Ming Dynasty and the rise of the Qing Empire.
In addition to Joe Taslim, the following actors will take part in the film: Chan Hyuk ("A common person"), Jung Man-sik ("Asura: Mad City") Choi Jin-ho (“New Mean Girl”) and others.
The premiere of the historical action film is planned for 2018, but there is no exact date yet, as well as more detailed information.
In 2017, Joe Taslim will be seen in an Indonesian drama "A Little Letter to God" (premiere: June 25). Also in limbo is a long-announced project - a crime thriller.
