Wide age gap might make it more interesting.

Just wondering who will direct this. Vikramaditya Motwane can make this poetic and beautiful. But doubt KJo would sign him

I've seen it as well. Though Francois looked anywhere from 50 to 60. But I guess they may change a bit around. A lil changes in script may work too.

Didn't Karan Johar announce the movie way back in 2014 before the release of Oopiri? Now he has bought the rights of Oopiri too?😕
