Soham to direct Khote Sikkey : Sanjay

Long term friends have turned worst of foes. Edging out director-friend Sanjay Gupta from the proceedings, Sanjay Dutt has assigned Soham Shah to wield the megaphone for his home production KHOTE SIKKEY.

The film, a big budget action-thriller will have five heroes and a heroine and the film will be extensively shot in Malaysia.

Says Shah, "It is Sanju's concept. He came with this idea and it was he who wanted me to make this film."

Initially, KHOTE SIKKEY was to star Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, Nana Patekar and Fardeen Khan. But now, after Dutt taking over the reigns himself, things are likely to change.

It may be recollected that the project got stalled after Sanjay Gupta had fallout with Dutt, after which the latter walked out of the film.
