MUMBAI: Six films-old Anubhav Sinha has taken the plunge and launched his film production house called Benaras Media.

For starters, Sinha has firmed up three films. The first of the lot will be an action film, directed by Sudhir Mishra. While the second movie will be helmed by Gurmeet, a former assistant on several YRF films, the third will be directed by Sinha himself.

The script of the first film is a combination of cerebral and physical action, a kind of Bourne Identity meeting Jackie Chan. It will have a huge star cast and some of the most elaborate action often seen in Hong Kong’s Kung Fu films.

It is being said that Shah Rukh Khan will play the main lead while Irrfan Khan, Arunoday Singh and Vidyut Jamwal are being slotted into the other roles.

The film would start rolling once Mishra gets the final cast of his ambitious project, Mehrunissa, in place.

Sinha had earlier directed films like Tum Bin, Aap Ko Pehle Bhi Kahin Dekha Hai, Dus, Tathastu, Cash and Ra.One.
