Rohit Shetty may pull off the most enviable casting coup.
New Delhi:
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty may pull off the most enviable casting coup. The Singham Returns director has roped in actor Shah Rukh Khan and is in talks with actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the film's leading lady.
While Shah Rukh Khan is confirmed as the male lead the director is yet to lock in Aishwarya as SRK's leading lady.
If Rohit succeeds in locking the stellar cast for his project, then SRK and Aishwarya will romance each other onscreen after 12 years. They were last seen together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2002 film Devdas.
Shah Rukh and Aishwarya have featured together as siblings in 2000 film Josh and Aishwarya had also done a cameo role in Shah Rukh Khan's Mohabbatein, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan. She also appeared in the item number Ishq Kameena in SRK's film Shakti.
This will be Shah Rukh and Rohit's second project after 2013 superhit Chennai Express, which featured actress Deepika Padukone as the female lead.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya is all set for her comeback after a sabbatical of four years in Sanjay Gupta's Jazbaa opposite Irrfan Khan.
