Aditya picks Rani for SRK - Hrithik film
Aditya Chopra has selected Yash Raj favourite Rani Mukherji to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in his next directorial venture.
A source close to Yash Raj says that Rani is more than happy to work in the project which is expected to begin this year itself.
"Adi needs two heroines for his film. Rani will play the lead opposite SRK while the hunt is still on for Hrithik's heroine. A couple of actresses have been short listed but it looks like Preity Zinta might make the cut," says the source.
He adds that the film will have everything that Aditya Chopra and Yash Raj are famous for - from foreign locales to over the top love and romance which is the central theme of Chopra's film.
But one can't help but question Aditya's need to step into the director's role all of a sudden?
"Everyone knows that Yash Raj has had a very bad 2007. Other than Chak De! India they haven't had any superhit and so Adi is taking things in his own hand. The film will have everything that made DDLJ and Mohabbatein cult films amongst the youth. And who better to do it with then the most bankable stars of Yash Raj and Bollywood."
"And at the same time he has been thinking about directing a film. He has been working on the script for a while and then when Yash Raj needs his success formula the most it does make sense for him to direct the film now," feels our source.
With the script close to being locked down, the film is expected to go on floors in the summer once all the actors have wrapped up their current commitments. The romantic drama will be shot in Dubai, Australia and Yash Raj's current favourite Greece.
haha WOOT finally get to see preity again😃..n with hrithik hmm seams like interesting jodi..n srk rani look good together cant wait for the release😳
