Amit Sharma and Gauri Shinde are in talks to direct The Intern

The producers are in discussion with Badhaai Ho director Amit Sharma and English Vinglish and Dear Zindagi fame Gauri Shinde. Both directors are known for their impeccably crafted direction and storytelling and have shown their interest in The Intern but no one has been booked for the job yet. Discussions are happening and fee negotiations are also underway. They are expected to finalize one of them by the next week," an industry source told us.

Sharma is currently busy with Ajay Devgn's Maidaan which is based on the golden era of football while Shinde hasn't announced any new project after her Shah Rukh Khan and Alia Bhatt coming-of-age drama released in 2016. She recently directed a Karan Johar featuring advertisement that highlights same-sex love but doesn't have any film in hand to work on. The makers are apparently in a dilemma to pick one between Sharma and Shinde and are expected to take the final call after considering all the factors.

Gauri would do a good job.

Just have to control chintuji

Ummm Amit Sharma and Gauri Shinde?

Have they not seen the intern?? It was fun workplace film, any young director without much experience can handle subject well than them, just treatment has to be urban. Also don't need very skillful director who can make viewers emotionally invested throughout, it is kind of film where characters develope affection gradually, just have to make sure screenplay is tight and well adapted.

I hope Gauri Shinde directs this movie

Deepika is a director's actress and Gauri will surely pull the best out of her
