MUMBAI: Sameer Karnik who last directed Nanhe Jaisalmer with Bobby Deol and is awaiting the release of his next two films, has already started work on a new project. Titled Curfew, the film will have a budget of Rs 150 million.

Produced and directed by Karnik, the backdrop of the film will be based on a curfew. The star cast is being finalised.

“The script is interlinked with a lot of storylines. We are working around a multi-starcast and will boast a lot of characters,” says Karnik.

The film is slated to hit the floors by next month. Karnik plans a 50 day schedule for this plan. Locations would be Mumbai and Delhi. The shooting is intended to be wrapped by October and release will be by the year-end.

Both Roshan (which stars Bobby Deol and Kangana Ranaut) and Heroes (with Salman Khan and Priety Zinta) will hit the screens sometime in June.

Eros Multimedia Ltd has bought the distribution rights of Roshan. All three films including Nanhe Jaisalmer have been sent as a nominee to the Cannes Film Festival.
