Apoorva Lakhia to make a film on Al-Qaeda

Even before his film Shootout At Lokhandwala gets ready for release, Apoorva Lakhia is gearing up for his next film Mission Istanbul . The film will be based on Osama Bin Laden’s terror network Al-Qaeda. Lakhia says Mission Istanbul is going to be a big film with four male leads. The film will be shot in Turkey, Afghanistan, Srinagar and Mumbai.

Talking about the casting, Apoorva Lakhia confirms that he has got Bobby Deol on board for this film. The film will be produced by Sunil Shetty and Ekta Kapoor. After producing Shootout At Lokhandwala jointly with Sanjay Gupta, Ekta Kapoor’s production house will now tie up with Sunil Shetty’s Popcorn Entertainment for Mission Istanbul . In fact, Balaji’s film division will now be called Balaji Motion Pictures Ltd. to avoid the confusion between Ekta’s film and television ventures.
