His last co-production, Shootout at Lokhandwala, did fairly well, which may be why Suniel Shetty is all the more charged up about the soon-to-be-released Mission Istanbul. The decision to produce the film was apparently taken by him during the shoot of Shootout at Lokhandwala. Director Apoorva Lakhia came up with the script and Suniel was so impressed, he immediately agreed. It seems the macho man is also doing a cameo. Why didn’t he ask for a full-fledged role in his own production? “If I were to do a complete role in Mission Istanbul, I’d be accused of hogging the limelight,” he says. The film, we hear, is a complete entertainer, choc-a-block with Hollywood style action, special effects, the works. And if that doesn’t interest you, there’s also an intriguing political angle. Apart from look-alikes of American President George W Bush and Osama Bin Laden, it features a guest appearance by Kashmiri politician Omar Abdullah. One of the rumours associated with the film suggests that Viveik Oberoi’s role was heavily chopped. Ask Suniel about it and watch how he warns rumour-mongers to leave his film alone, in that characteristic macho ishtyle.
