While still looking out for some big break roles out there, Zac Efron has been hired recently for getting the lead role of a romantic action film that is still untitled but will be handled by Mandate Pictures which were also the ones behind ‘Drag Me To Hell’ and ‘The Switch’. The film would evolve around the story of a suburban kid that will be played by Efron. He travels to the eastern part of Europe and falls in love for a young woman who has an ex-boyfriend who turns out to be a very threatening criminal. This ex-boyfriend gives all the hard beating to Efron before he can even get the girl of his dreams in the film.
