Directors Omung Kumar and Ashutosh Gowariker have found themselves in a bit of a soup over their next projects. According to reports, both the directors are currently prepping for their next, which is based on the life of Maharaja Jam Sahib Digvijaysinhji Ranjitsinhji. The ruler of Nawanagar, a princely state in British India, Maharaja Jam Sahib had rescued hundreds of abandoned Polish children by providing them with shelter during World War II.
Talking about his preparation for the project, Omung Kumar said that he has been working on the project for over a year now and Sanjay Dutt has also given his nod for the same. The director said, "We plan to shoot in Poland, India and across continents. The story idea came from Sanjay and Vikas Verma, who is also a part of the film. I will be leaving for Poland in two months for the recce. We are tracing the entire journey, from Poland to Mumbai and finally Gujarat, so the film will take a while to shoot."
The director further added that he has been in talks with Polish officials and the film has been in the works even before 'Bhoomi' happened. Omung revealed, "It took so much time to get the film off the ground because it is being shot on a huge scale."
While Omung's project is all set to go on floors next year, Ashutosh is yet to talk about the project. However, a source close to the director recently revealed that he has bought the rights to the story.
It will certainly be exciting to see if one of the directors back out or we will have two films on the same subject!
