Kunder will be heading to Chandigarh tomorrow for location scouting. Earlier this week, Kunder also went on a location recce in the interiors of Maharashtra for the movie.

Kunder wrote on his Twitter, "Joker is not a Superhero film. At one point it used to be. But what we are making now is a completely new script, with the same title."

The movie is slated to release around Christmas this year and is being produced by Akshay Kumar.

Kunder recently co-produced Tees Maar Khan along with Akshay Kumar's Hari Om Productions. The movie was directed by Farah Khan and starred Kumar and Katrina Kaif in the lead.

Akshay Kumar and Farah Khan makes another 3D film 'Joker'

Akshay Kumar and Farah Khan makes another 3D film 'Joker': Notwithstanding the less-than-expected run of Tees Maar Khan at box office, Farah Khan, Akshay Kumar and Shirish Kunder are reuniting again for a 3D film.

This time, the trio aim higher on entertainment quotient with their film Joker, which will be directed not by Farah but her husband Shirish.

“We will begin work on Joker in January. We are already through with the ground work and it is time to start the principal shoot. The film will be made in 3D,” Farah is quoted as saying by a news agency.

The movie, an all-out entertainer, will have Sonakshi Sinha opposite Akshay. It will be jointly produced by Farah-Shirish's Three's Company and Akshay's 'Hari Om Entertainment Co'.

“It should be a good experience to work with the same team after Tees Maar Khan. I have always believed that you should enjoy the filmmaking process instead of worrying about the fate of a film,” Farah said.

With Farah and Shirish switching roles, their production company already has two directors.

“Not many production houses can boast of two in-house directors. This way we don't have to rely upon outside directors to make films for us,” Farah said.

The shoot of ‘Joker’ will begin on 24th January at Malshej ghat. The second schedule will be in April-May.
