If all goes as planned, Shekhar Kapur may direct his next Hindi flick with Hrithik Roshan in the lead role. The two were supposed to work together immediately after Duggu's debut for a project titled Paani, but it never took off. Now, a decade later, Kapur has approached the actor with a ready script.
Finally...
A source reveals, "Hrithik and Shekhar have met several times to discuss working together but somehow, things never worked out. Now that Hrithik is ready with Kites, Kapur feels it's the right time to back that up with his film.
An insider swears, "They've locked on to a script after many sittings and things are now moving briskly. The film in question will be made in four languages: Hindi, English, Spanish and one other language. The film will be shot in Mumbai and in the US. Hrithik apparently signed on the dotted line, and last week, met produceru00a0 Manmohan Shetty in a SoBo five-star. A top actress opposite Hrithik is being considered."
The film is expected to start shooting to start by the mid-2010. But given the current circumstances, shooting might be pushed to the year-end.
Manmohan Shetty denies involvement in the project altogether, "No it's not true."
