Shahrukh in Ramu’s ‘company’!

The prospect of big shot director teaming up with an equally big time actor always succeeds in stirring hoopla of excitement. In some cases, the idea never takes off actually, ending up only being a sideshow. Getting a lot of publicity in the bargain is the only yield that surges out of the whole panorama. But there are a few instances that have resulted in a definite culmination and the outcome was just as resonant.

That is exactly what happened when Ramgopal Varma and Sanjay Leela Bhansali cast Amitabh Bachchan in SARKAR and BLACK respectively. Ashutosh coasted along with Shahrukh in SWADES amicably and it showed in the feel that the film exuded. Shahrukh is now doing the remake of DON with another young and talented director Farhan Akhtar who showed a lot of promise with DIL CHAHATA HAI and LAKHSYA. And a fresh example would be of RANG DE BASANTI that saw the coming together of the technically sound filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra and Aamir Khan.

With the speculation of Mani Ratnam to do a film with Aamir Khan, another cracker of news comes following close on its heels. Superstar Shahrukh Khan has agreed to cut a movie with Ram Gopal Varma. The details regarding the film are still in the closet but in all probabilities the deal could be pretty much on. While Mani's film would be an interpretation of the grand epic Mahabharata that is being produced by Bobby Bedi, Ramu's project is still in the negotiation stages.

Well, Shahrukh' gonna be in a good 'company' with Ramu!
