Priyadarshan, riding high on the success of Khatta Meetha, is all set to direct his next venture tentatively titled The Bullet. He had been scouting for a suitable heroine for this film and had approached Vidya Balan. The actress, however, citied date issues and pointed out her inability to be a part of The Bullet. The ace director then reportedly approached Priyamani but the producers of The Bullet had insisted that they need a Bollywood star instead of someone from down south. Following this, Priyadarshan was forced to sign up Kangana Ranaut for the role, we hear. Ajay Devgn plays the terrorist in this film, which is inspired by the Hollywood flick Speed. Tusshar Kapoor, Suneil Shetty, Manoj Bajpai and Sameera Reddy play important roles in this film
