Late actor Amjad Khan’s son Shadaab has quietly gone and completed his first directorial venture “Highway 203″, a thriller starring K.K. Menon and Perizaad Zorabian.
Shadaab, who debuted as a leading man opposite Rani Mukerji in “Raja Ki Aayegi Baraat”, has left his acting aspirations behind.
“What keenly interests me is scriptwriting. I have 20 scripts ready. In fact, one of them, ‘Sandhya’, was made with Jackie Shroff and Raveena Tandon in the lead. The film never got released, though its director Sangeeth Sivan has become belatedly successful with ‘Kyaa Kool Hai Hum’,” Shadaab said.
“Thrillers are my chosen genre. ‘Sandhya’, which I wrote, was one.
“And now I’ve directed one. My producer Prince Dendona and I were both keen on the title ‘The Accident’ since ‘Highway 203′ is centred on an accident,” added Shadaab who played villain in J.P. Dutta’s “Refugee”. His father Amjad Khan had shot to fame as the villain Gabbar in “Sholay”.
The film, ready for release in February, was originally meant to feature Naseeruddin Shah and Tabu.
