Deols in a film on boxing!

Sunny Deol, Bobby Deol and Dharmendra are currently working together in director Anil Sharma’s film Apne.

Apne is a movie about boxing. The film has Dharmendra playing a boxing coach. Sunny and Bobby play two boxers. However, the film will not be a full-fledged action flick. It will also delve on the sensitivity of human relationships.

Katrina Kaif and Shilpa Shetty are the movie’s leading ladies. Katrina is most likely paired with Bobby, while Shilpa is cast opposite the elder Deol, Sunny.

Apne is currently on the floors and is being shot in Rajkot (Gujarat) in a 10-day schedule that will continue till the first week of September. Among the shooting locations in Rajkot are the indoor stadium at Race Course and the swimming pools at Kalawad Road. The indoor stadium will be the location for a boxing match sequence to be shot between Bobby Deol and model-turned-actor Aryan Vaid.

Apne is produced under the banner of Glamour Entertainment Pvt. Ltd and Prime Focus. Some portions of the film have been shot in Thailand and Australia. The film also stars Kiron Kher, Victor Banerjee and Pakistani actor Javed Sheikh. Himesh Rehammiya has composed the film’s music.
