Rajniti

Director: Prakash Jha

Cast: Nana Patekar, Ajay Devgan, Manoj Bajpai, Ranbir Kapoor, Katrina Kaif

Prakash Jha delves into his favourite territory again and as the title clearly suggests Rajniti is a film on present-day politics merged with chapters of Mahabharat. Ajay Devgan will symbolize the character of Karn, Nana Patekar of Krishna, Ranbir Kapoor of Arjun and Katrina Kaif of Draupadi. Also Vivek Oberoi was offered a role in the film but he opted out due to date problems.

Kaminay

Director: Vishal Bhardwaj

Cast: Shahid Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra

Kaminay is an action-comedy and, as the title suggests, is about cunning people. Shahid Kapoor has lost weight for this role and his look in this film is being kept as a close-guarded secret. So much so that Shahid has stopped making public appearances until the promos of the film are out. Insiders reveal that Shahid sports a tanned look in the film with beard and different haircuts. Priyanka Chopra, on her part, is learning Marathi for her character in the film. There's also buzz of a passionate lip-lock between the two in the film.

Renzil D'Silva - Karan Johar Project(unnamed)

Director: Renzil D'Silva

Cast: Saif Ali Khan, Kareena Kapoor, Vivek Oberoi, Tara Sharma

Not much is known about this untitled project other than the fact that it's a political thriller and the first film to have Saif Ali Khan opposite Kareena Kapoor post their couple status (if you could overlook their vocal chemistry in Roadside Romeo ). Tara Sharma is cast opposite Vivek Oberoi in the film.

Renzil D'Silva has created his own brand value as a writer with Rang De Basanti post which he has scripted several films under production like David Dhawan's Hook Ya Crook , Soham Shah's Luck , Rakyesh Mehra's Paanch Kaurav , Shoojit Sarkar's Kishore Kumar biopic and films for Mani Ratnam and Arjun Rampal. Finally he turns director with this film which has dialogues written by Anurag Kashyap, who once was not on very good terms with Karan Johar.

Blue

Producer: Sri Ashtavinayak Cine Vision Ltd.

Cast: Akshay Kumar, Sanjay Dutt, Lara Dutta

The combination of Akshay Kumar and Sanjay Dutt could be lethal if exploited sensibly. Blue promises to be an out-an-out action thriller and has some amazing underwater sequences. Not just Akshay and Sanju but also Lara Dutta has done an action sequence amidst whales.

Kites

Director: Anurag Basu

Cast: Hrithik Roshan, Barbara Mori, Kangana Ranaut

Post Jodhaa Akbar , Hrithik is really taking it easy and this would be his first release as the main lead (other than an extended special appearance in Luck By Chance ). After proving his credentials with Gangster and Life in a Metro , Anurag Basu is amongst the top league and is directing an intense romantic film. Originally producer Rakesh Roshan was trying to rope in actress Penelope Cruz but finally they zeroed in on Latin actress Barbara Mori for the role. This one promises some terrific chemistry between Hrithik and his female costars.
