Sikander began his acting career in 2008 with Sanjay Gupta and Ekta Kapoor's Woodstock Villa
Mumbai:
Actor Sikander Kher has been signedup for Aurangzeb, a Yash Raj Films (YRF) project.
Directed by Atul Sabharwal, the film will also starIshaqzaade actor Arjun Kapoor in a double role. It will seeJackie Shroff and Amrita Singh come together after almost twodecades. Rishi Kapoor will be donning the role of a villain inthe film.
"Sikander is doing an important role in Aurangzeb,"an official from YRF told PTI.
Aurangzeb, rumoured to be a fresh take on the 1978blockbuster Trishul, will hit the theatres next year.Sikander, on his part, was evasive about his role.
"There is nothing that I can talk about it. Right now it istoo premature. We will talk about it later. Till there issomething substantial to talk, let me struggle quietly."
Sikander began his acting career in 2008 with SanjayGupta and Ekta Kapoor's Woodstock Villa, a musical-thriller,which also featured newcomer Neha Oberoi and Arbaaz Khan. Thefilm did not do well at the box office.
His another release in the same year was Summer 2007,directed by debutant Suhail Tatari. Starring Gul Panag, YuvikaChaudhary and Arjan Bajwa, this movie, too, failed at the boxoffice.
Even Ashutosh Gowariker's patriotic biopic Khele HumJee Jaan Sey(2010), based on the Chittagong uprising of1930, did not give any boost to Sikander's acting career.
The 31-year-old's last release was Abbas-Mustan's actionthriller Players, an official remake of 2003 Hollywood crimefilm, The Italian Job.
He played a pivotal role alongside Abhishek Bachchan,Sonam Kapoor, Bipasha Basu, Bobby Deol, Neil Nitin Mukesh andOmi Vaidya, but Players failed to impress the audience.
