The film rolls by the end of the year; casting for a sizzling special appearance currently underway.
In 2014, Gauri Shinde took off to New York to script her next film - a hatke story on love.
The filmmaker's debut hit, English Vinglish, had marked the comeback of Ms Hawa Hawai, Sridevi, and her yet-to-be-titled next, has a one-of-a-kind jodi in the lead. "It's a different, beautiful story about love. You cannot call it a love story, because Shah Rukh and Alia are not opposite each other. Shah Rukh is too old to be Alia's lover," a source close to the development told Mirror.
Gauri had decided to roll with her film in May, but the filmmaker was warned against strenuous activities owing to her slip disk. She had even been hospitalised (Mirror, June 9) during the pre-production stage. "I have been down with a partial slipped disc... And no, I haven't finished the casting of my film yet," Gauri had revealed.
But on Wednesday evening, the director was up and about, escorting Alia to her car after an hour-long meeting at her Khar office, which is also the workplace of her husband, R Balki, who is presently filming Ki and Ka with Kareena Kapoor and Arjun Kapoor. "It was an hour-long meeting that ended at 4pm. This was the first meeting between the two, after the actress returned from her recent stint in London with sister, Shaheen," says the source.
Meanwhile, Balki too is completely involved in the pre-production of the film. "Even though the casting of the leads is complete, there is still a pending requirement," the source points out, adding that the unit is now in search of the perfect actress to do a special appearance in the film.
Buzz was the film follows the journey of a young girl who dates three men in her life and with each new relationship, discovers a new perspective on life. The makers were keen to cast Katrina Kaif in the film, but decided to go ahead with a younger actress. "She's young, lively and fabulous.
You'll have to wait and watch," the source adds.
