Khaitan had bonded well with Dhawan and Bhatt and was hoping to bring the jodi back on the screen once more. A source, however, spoke to Absolute India and said, "Shashank had been working on a commercial entertainer. He recently completed his script and narrated it to Karan Johar. Unfortunately, Karan did not like it a lot as he felt that it was quite similar to Shashank's debut film. The producer was expecting fresh story this time round. Hence, he doesn't want to go ahead with the current script."
The source continued, "The film won't go on the floors this year as Shashank has also been working on the reality show Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa Reloaded with Karan Johar and Shahid Kapoor."
Johar's next movies include Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' which he will be directing himself and also Kapoor and Sons' directed by Shakun Batra.
