"Actually, in retrospect, it all seems to be so unreal. The big-budget, special effects-laden film also stars Sanjay Dutt as a cool villain and marks the entry of Sri Lankan beauty Jackie Fernandez paired opposite Ritiesh, who will play Aladdin. And we decided we'll make Aladin," Ghosh recalled. I got his number and met him that night at the Mariott. "I had just come out from watching the premiere of Masti and I knew I wanted to work with Ritiesh Deshmukh. His Home Delivery was yet to be made, but the filmmaker was brimming with ideas, one of them being Aladin. Riteish's Masti (2004) had just released and the actor had won accolades for his comic timing, and Ghosh only had Jhankaar Beats behind him.

Filmmaker Sujoy Ghosh says his next venture Aladin, which has superstar Amitabh Bachchan playing the genie and is complete with the latest special effects, will be no less than a Harry Potter or The Lord Of The Rings flick. ![]()
