Rumours are rife that even before Nikamma has released, Sabbir Khan’s next is an interesting thriller with Sony Pictures once again. From creating blockbuster films, Sabbir has now branched into becoming a content curator as well. Bringing his versatility to the fore the filmmaker is diversifying his content game and he is set to produce content that does not limit itself to any particular genre or format be it shorts, features or an extended series.
The filmmaker has been developing content over the last two years to set up Sabbir Khan Films holistically. From a robust creative team to multiple active writers room, Khan is collaborating with promising young untapped talents to bring forth unique stories. Backing diverse stories and voices is the agenda of his production house, he says.
This is evident as over the past few months, the director has been busy prepping his second project, a new age thriller with an enviable ensemble of powerhouse performers. Talking about the same, he tells us, “This is an exciting time to not just be a content creator but a content curator as well. Our next feature resonates that! We are constantly brainstorming on ideas and concepts because as artistes in 2021, we want to have a distinct voice and create something unique.”
According to an insider, “Sony announced its mammoth slate recently. There is great buzz for Nikamma. Sabbir, over the years with his grand outings has earned the reputation of being a director whose commercial films are bang for the buck. The Abhimanyu Dassani and Shirley Setia starrer is just that. The folks at Sony are impressed with Nikamma and have loved his new script as well."
The filmmaker diversifying his content game is also in sync with what Sony seems to be doing. Those who have seen the rushes of Nikamma say the film is classic Sabbir stamp and now the studio and the filmmaker have decided to come out with something completely different. The source adds, “Out of the box ideas seem to be their novelty and Sabbir and his team have a great second film in the offing.”
Well, if that’s the feedback, one can’t help but wait for an announcement! We hear it’s just around the corner.
