Rajkumar Hirani's P.K. (it's not Peekay) is actually a two-hero project. Everyone knows Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma have already been signed on. Trade gup has it that negotiations are on with a garma-garam young hero as well.
There has been constant speculation on Raju wanting Ranbir Kapoor to play the younger guy. The actor, however, isn't biting the bait. The reasons are simple. First, he is not in favour of two-hero projects. In the past, he has refused Karan Johar's suggestion to cast him and Shah Rukh Khan in a project. Also, he is already teaming up with Anushka for Anurag Kashyap'sBombay Velvet. So he isn't keen on jeopardising the pair's fresh look.

Rumours suggested that the next in line to play the younger guy could be Aamir's bhanja, Imran. A source however tells us, "The role is actually more suited to Ranveer Singh. And the makers are looking to cast this bright actor." Well, it would certainly be interesting to see Aamir and Ranveer together because they come from different schools of acting and together will make a lethal combination.
Since casting is still open, we couldn't get a comment from Raju. Honestly, any actor who comes on board already has an advantage... working with Hirani and Aamir.
