Vikramaditya Motwane says he developed ‘AK vs AK’ for 7 years

MUMBAI: Director Vikramaditya Motwane on Monday said he is happy to have made “AK vs AK”, a film he has been working on for seven years, with Anurag Kashyap and Anil Kapoor.
As per media reports, the film was earlier titled as “AK vs SK”, which stands for Anurag Kashyap and Shahid Kapoor, who were to play themselves in the film but things did not work out.
Motwane said he had fun working on the film, which has a unique premise at its heart.
“There is a writer friend of mine Abhinav Sampat from Amsterdam. He sent me this concept seven years ago. It’s been made since, like all my films. It is his idea, it is brilliant and we had a lot of fun developing it until now,” Motwane said when asked about the concept of the film, at the virtual trailer launch press conference of the film.
Motwane said he wanted to make a commercial masala film hence he approached Kapoor.
The film narrates the story of a brash film director (played by Kashyap), who kidnaps the daughter of a popular movie star (played by Kapoor) and shows the actor’s desperate search for his daughter (Sonam Kapoor) in real-time to present it as his next blockbuster. (AGENCIES)
