MUMBAI: With the critical acclaim of his debut film Shaitaan behind him, Bijoy Nambiar has decided to direct two films back-to-back.

The first film, titled David, was initially planned to be made in Hindi. It has three leading men and women and hence required many prominent faces.

Apart from South stars Vikram and Jeeva, the director was not successful in signing on any Bollywood actor for the film, and is hence being forced to make it in Tamil. And that was apparently the reason why Vivek Oberoi was taken on board, apart from Tabu.

The second project will go on the floors once the director completes David. The film will feature Shahid Kapoor in the lead, though he has not yet signed on the dotted line.
