Rohan confirmed getting Prateik in the cast saying, "Prateik is a very exciting young actor and we are planning on doing a couple of films together. The first is the one I am directing, starring Abhishek Bachchan. It is a gritty and witty thriller."
The thriller deals with drug trafficking in Goa.
Abhishek is excited about the film. A few days ago he commented that Rohan's script is powerful:
Met rohan for a discussion on our new film. Super kicked about this one. Gritty, whitty cop thriller. FINALLY! The men are back in town!
Prateik, reputed to be an intense actor, should slot in like a charm.
In the film, Abhishek plays a tough cop with a mission to bust drug trafficking in the city.
Pals Rohan and Abhishek were looking for a young fresh face for the film and the duo finalized Prateik as the perfect candidate.
Rohan requires the lead actors to study narcotic neurosis and criminals' quirks to understand their roles well, says a source from the production house.
Abhishek is currently in Goa filming for Ashutosh Gowarikar's period drama Khele Hum Jejaan Se. His next release Paa is also his home production. Next he will be seen in Mani Ratnam's Raavan due for release in 2010 summer.
Prateik will be next seen in Kiran Rao's Dhobi Ghaat with co-star Aamir Khan. He has two more films in his kitty, Sanjay Leela Bhansali's My Friend Pinto and Saif Ali Khan production's yet untitled helmed by Homi Adajanias.
