There is a strong buzz that the director and Hrithik are collaborating on a project to be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala.

When asked about such a possibility, Vishal Bhardwaj said it may or may not happen.

"Hrithik and I have been trying to work for a long time. After every film he completes and I complete, we meet and decide that we will do a film together. I hope it works out this time but not sure," Vishal Bhardwaj told PTI.

'Haider' director, however, clarified that their future project will not be a remake of 'The Departed' contrary to reports.

"It won't be 'Departed'. I am not going to make a remake of it. I was thinking about it a long time back, probably six or seven years back," he said.
