MUMBAI:
Martin Scorsese and David Weisman’s cross-cultural
crime thriller Xtrme City, starring Leonardo Dicaprio
and Shah Rukh Khan, is to start rolling soon after Khan
finishes with the YRF film that he is doing with Katrina
Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
The
film is a tale about two men (Leonardo Dicaprio and
Shah Rukh Khan ) from radically different worlds, with
SRK essaying the role of an underworld gangster and
Dicaprio a New York City cop.
Producer
David Weisman has been working on the project with
screen writer and director Paul Schrader and Mushtaq
Shiekh, known for his film Om Shanti Om. According
to Weisman, Xtrme City will blend the cinematic traditions
of Bollywood and Hollywood.
Xtrme City is to be directed by screenwriter Paul
Schrader who had earlier directed Taxi Driver and
Raging Bull.
