Chak De! India's babe in Mission Istanbul

Director of Shootout at Lokhandwala, Apoorva Lakhia is in talks with Sagarika Ghatge (Preeti Sabarwal of Chak De! India) for his next film, Mission Istanbul which is co- produced by Suniel Shetty and Ekta Kapoor.

Shreya Saran, who is also one of the lead actresses, has already been signed for the film; she was last seen in the film Awarapan.

"Mission Istanbul is about a person, who is stuck in extraordinary circumstances, in the world of terrorism. The main character is fictional but the situation around him is real; like in the film, Last King of Scotland.

The shooting of the film would start by October 20. It's a 60-day schedule and would be completed by February. We hope to release the film by summer next year," said Apoorva.

Update: She is not doing the film.
