Vishal Bharadwaj is coming up with the most grandeur project of his career. The film is said to be set on the backdrop of World War II. Vishal mentioned that Rangoon is a classic tale which will have the musical charm of Moulin Rouge, the romance of Casablanca and the intensity and drama of Saving Private Ryan.

 

He added, "I wanted to make this subject for eight years now. However, I knew from the start that this is a film that would take the vision of a producer like Sajid. It needs to be mounted on a lavish scale and after meeting Sajid, I felt he was the right man to take this project forward. The film not only needs a huge budget, but also requires someone who believes in it and allows me to make it the way I have envisioned it. I have made eight movies until now. However, I must add here that the scale of all those films put together is on one aside and that of Rangoon, alone, is on the other. That's how ambitious Rangoon is."

 

The Saif Ali Khan, Kangana Ranaut and Shahid Kapoor starrer is expected to go on floors on November 15.
