MUMBAI: Martin Scorsese and David Weisman’s cross-cultural crime thriller Xtrme City, starring Leonardo Dicaprio and Shah Rukh Khan, is to start rolling soon after Khan finishes with the YRF film that he is doing with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.

The film is a tale about two men (Leonardo Dicaprio and Shah Rukh Khan ) from radically different worlds, with SRK essaying the role of an underworld gangster and Dicaprio a New York City cop.

Producer David Weisman has been working on the project with screen writer and director Paul Schrader and Mushtaq Shiekh, known for his film Om Shanti Om. According to Weisman, Xtrme City will blend the cinematic traditions of Bollywood and Hollywood.

Xtrme City is to be directed by screenwriter Paul Schrader who had earlier directed Taxi Driver and Raging Bull.
