Rani or Vidya in SRK/Priyadarshan's next

A serious fight for a comedy

Rani Mukherji and Vidya Balan are vying to play the lead in SRK's next

It's a tough fight between Rani Mukherji and Vidya Balan, and a tough call for Shah Rukh Khan. A few days back we had reported that SRK and Priyadarshan will work together on a film where SRK will play himself. It is for this film that SRK is finalising his leading lady and he has to choose between the two, Rani Mukherji and Vidya Balan.

It is going to be exciting to see who finally bags the project. Rani and SRK have appeared together in numerous films and share a wonderful chemistry, whereas Vidya Balan, in turn, has worked with director Priyadarshan in Bhool Bhulaiya and shares a great rapport with him. SRK is playing himself in the feature. In a love story to be produced by his banner, Red Chillies Entertainment and directed by the King of comedies, the project will also see these two talents collaborate for the first time.

Meanwhile, Irrfan Khan has already been signed in to play a pivotal role in the film. While SRK is in the process of finalising his lead actress, he is also scouting for two actresses to play important characters in the film.

The film is scheduled to go on the floors in April and will be complete by August 2008. Priyadarshan had told us earlier, "I am looking forward to the film and working with SRK. I'm excited about this film and am looking forward to working with Shah Rukh. I'm completing Mere Baap Pehele Aap with Akshaye Khanna."

SRK and Priyadarshan will come together for the first time to create a laugh riot along with Irrfan Khan and, er, Rani or Vidya. It won't be very funny for the one who doesn't bag it though. We'll keep you posted.

I like SRK and Rani's chemistry and I always like their films. However, his pairing with Vidya could be good too. I think they look good together

we should try out vidya and srk's pair may be its gud

i dislike both of the actress in consideration i hope they shoose someone else instead

Rani doesn't seem to have many shows lined up, so I hope it's her!!

i rele hope its rani!i hv seen too much of vidya now! 😆 😕 but i would luv to see rani and srk together again after kank! 👏 😳

Uhmmm I would say none of them .

Please,please please let it be Vidya. Rani has donw way too many films with SRK and their pairing is honestly, very passe and jaded...They were insipid together in KANK.

Vidya and SRK would make one of the best pairs, simply because both of them are in the same age bracket, and they would even look great together. SRK ought to do films with actresses like Vidya, Kareena, Tabu, Ash etc and leave starlets like Deepika for Ranbir and Neil

The film is a remake of malayalam film and i think there needs to be two heriones.One as an actress opposite SRK and another as wife of Irfaan khan.The malayalm film was gud hope it comes out well in hindi. 😛

i think vidya wud be gr8 4 this role v ve seen rani n SRK many times but for a change vidya wud be gr8
