Starring Kumar and Sonakshi Sinha, the film is being directed by Prabhu Deva of `Wanted` fame. Bhansali (48) said his latest project will break the stereotypical boundaries of the action genre. The film will see Kumar get back into the action space. The `Khiladi` star will undergo rigorous physical training in preparation for the film that will have top notch action and choreography, he added. PTI
