SSR was in talks for an upcoming film based on the terrorist, Ajmal Kasab, who was involved in the Mumbai 26/11 terror attacks.

On the day he spoke to Tellychakkar.com in an interview that that It was not true that Sanjeev Jaiswal, who has played Ajmal Kasab in <em>The Attacks of 26/11</em>, has gone into hiding but was deliberately kept away to create a feeling of extreme reality when audiences see him on screen for the first time, the same evening Ram Gopal Varma introduced the actor to the media.

Last week when Ram Gopal Varma shot Kasab’s execution for his film The Attacks Of 26/11 Sanjeev Jaiswal, the theatre actor who plays Kasab, was traumatized in a way that is not unknown to method actors. Dilip Kumar while playing Devdas had to consult a psychiatrist. Jaiswal, one hears, was so heavily into his character that, in the words of a crew member, he “lost it completely” when the hanging sequence was being done.
