In response to a meme posted in the official Twitter account of Behindwoods, which posed a question that read- Which director do you want to direct this combo, the director threw his hat, expressing his interest to make a film with the two superstars as leads.
You should go with a action director like Hollywood is doing like 🤔 Lee Whittaker 😉

In the tweet, Lee Whittaker mentioned that he will don the greasepaint, just like in Hollywood, where action choreographers turn directors for many films, like the John Wick-series and the 2017 film Atomic Blonde, which were directed by Chad Staheski and David Leitch respectively.
When suggested about a combo film on the lines of Michael Mann's 1995 crime classic Heat, which starred Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino as leads, Lee Whittaker replied positively, saying that its a great idea.
That's a great idea actually 💪🏼 let's get the buzz going
