And the makers are on the look out for a girl who can play Mrs Khanna. Earlier, Priyanka was rumoured to be doing it, but then either there was a date problem or she wasn't happy with the cast of the film. Now it's a toss up between Ayesha Takia and Preity Zinta.
There was news that Ayesha has been signed on, but that is not true. She is one of the actresses finalised for the role but she hasn't signed on the dotted line as yet. In fact, Preity Zinta is still in the reckoning.
Apparently, when Preity Zinta is said to have heard the script, she loved it and there is a good chance she will give the nod for this one. Main Aur Mrs Khanna is being directed by newcomer Prem R Soni, and shooting for the film is slated to begin sometime in September this year. The film is to be shot entirely in one schedule at an international airport. The permissions are still being put in place, but the makers are looking at Australia as a likely location.
"It is a rom com (romantic comedy) which is very contemporary - almost in the Hum Tum mould. The tussle over the female lead is because this one is a dream role, and any actress would love to do it, especially considering Salman and Govinda are already in the film," adds the source. Now let's wait and watch who the lucky girl is shall we?
