Summary Flying Jat, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, is slated to release in 2016.
MUMBAI: Remo D Souza wants his upcoming superhero film Flying Jat to be an answer to Hollywood s action movies, reported PTI.
Starring Tiger Shroff and Jacqueline Fernandez, Flying Jat will see a Punjabi superhero for the first time in India.
Though the ABCD 2 director feels the subject is challenging, he wants to raise the bar of superhero films in India through the movie.
"It is a big subject. It is something I have to prove again. With ABCD 2, I had to prove that dancing could be of a certain level and with this film I have to show that a superhero film like this can be made in India," said Remo.
"We always see Avengers, Spider-Man, Superman and I want to take this film to that level so that Indian people think we also have our superhero film . It is my answer to foreign superhero movies," he added.
The filmmaker is happy with the way the movie is shaping up and is looking forward to its second schedule in mid-August.
Praising Tiger, Remo said he wanted to launch the Heropanti actor and is happy he is finally getting to direct the young star in a film.
"I know Tiger before he came into films. I wanted to launch him but he got his break in Heropanti, which was good as well. Then I thought I would do second film with him but his second is Baaghi. I am happy his third film is with me," the director said.
Remo, who choreographed Jacqueline in her earlier films, said he knew from the beginning she would become the star she is today.
"Jacqueline is outstanding, she is amazing. I did songs for her first film and since then I knew she would do well," he said.
Flying Jat, produced by Sajid Nadiadwala, is slated to release in 2016.
