There was a lot of talk after Shahid Kapoor was shown the door by Yash Raj Films, on one of their next films being directed by Maneesh Sharma. So, naturally, everyone was wondering who would play leading man.
Well, the suspense is over and Sushant Singh Rajput has been roped in. Rajput, who is all set to make his debut on the big screen early next year with Kai Po Che! directed by Abhishek Kapoor, is also doing Raj Kumar Hirani's next directorial venture P.K.
Welcome aboard, SSR!
Sushant Singh Rajput and Parineeti Chopra in Maneesh Sharma's next

Maneesh Sharma's next for Yash Raj Films (YRF), which was supposed to initially star Shahid Kapoor, now features popular T.V. actor Sushant Singh Rajput. Sushant would be paired opposite YRF's discovery Parineeti Chopra in this forthcoming film.
Sushant already has couple of big Bollywood projects like Abhishek Kapoor's Kai Po Che and Rajkumar Hirani's P.K. in his kitty and the young lad has now added yet another plum project in his bag. Parineeti, on the other hand, has already been seen in 2 YRF films namely Ladies v/s Ricky Bahl and Ishaqzaade.
It will be interesting to see this fresh pairing in Maneesh Sharma's next.
