Bollywood's ace choreographer, Farah Khan, is rumoured to have been offered a leading spot in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's next, Shirin Farhad. The film, which is bein

g claimed to become a Bela (Bhansali's sister) directorial, shall be a genteel love story of a Parsi couple.

Aged 40 now, Farah was naturally quite apprehensive about taking up this prestigious Bhansali offer, but with constant persuasion from the film makers camp, Farah is heard to have given her nod.

For the record, Bhansali had not shared the greatest rapport with Farah over the past few years. However, that prejudice aside, he thinks Khan has the right amount of Parsi quotient and a fitting natural personality as needed for his movie's female lead. Bhansali opines that Farah's smart wit and perkiness compelled him to offer her the role of 'Shirin', in this home venture.

Well, will Lady Khan, who has given the Hindi cinema some notable immortals in form of jigs and movies alike, be able to pull of a stunner in this newly thrown challenge? If the impact of the name 'Khan' has anything to do with onscreen skill, Farah is here to stay and shine!
