Aishwarya-Ranbir-Anushka in KJo's triangular love story - Page 6

Karan Johar, who hasn't directed any film in 2014 is all set to return to direction next year. And guess what? He has cast Ranbir Kapoor, Anushka Sharma and wait for it...Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for his directorial venture. Well, that's what the reports suggest.

While we will get to see Ranbir and Anushka romancing each other in Bombay Velvet, which also has KJo playing the villain, but Ranbir and the Bachchan bahu coming together is certainly one heck of a deal.

Though the filmmaker is tight lipped about the project, those in the know say that the Ash-RK casting is sure to grab eyeballs. "Karan is returning to direction after a gap, and he wants it to be extraordinary. He will make sure that this next film catches everyone's attention," a source revealed to BollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY.

So all we can do is just wait for an official announcement. Meanwhile tell us, are you excited to see Ranbir and Ash together on the silver screen?

Am reading lots of speculations about my directorial next...please wait for the official announcement and do not believe the conjectures...

Apparently it is Aamir and not Ranbir in the Karan project. Media seems to have mixed up names.

Although Masand did write about this a couple of years ago in his blind, and he said Karan wanted Ash-Ranbir-Kat in the project.

Casting Coup

It could well turn out to be the casting coup of the season if this prominent filmmaker gets his way. For his next film, a sprawling period piece with a massive ensemble cast, he is keen to rope in a beautiful female star who hasn't made a movie since she had a baby last year. In the same film, he has plans to cast a leading younger actress in a romantic track opposite her real-life boyfriend, who is expected to play the male lead.

The two actresses, regarded popularly as the most stunning women in Bollywood, have never had an opportunity to become friends, or even so much as get to know each other. At some point or the other, both actresses dated the same man, thereby automatically being pitted against each other by the controversy-loving film press. They've reportedly avoided each other cautiously at public events, including the recent premiere of a film they were both at.

More awkward may have been a recent overseas shooting schedule of a film, during which the married actress showed up to spend time with her husband, who was filming with the other actress. Unit hands say the mood was tense the first day the ladies were on set together, but everything went off smoothly, given that the ladies didn't exchange a word... or even a smile.

It's hard to imagine that both actresses will, in fact, agree to work in the film, given that they have several common scenes which they will need to shoot together. But before he can even convince the two actresses to set aside their hang-ups and act in his film, the director himself may need to overcome a significant hurdle in the form of a third A-list actress, and his close friend, who is allegedly determined to be cast in one of those two plum roles.
