SRIK in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Shah Rukh Khan, the Badshah of bollywood, is all set to play the lead in Aditya Chopra’s next venture ‘ Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ opposite a new cute traditional Indian beauty, for which Yash Raj Films will launch a nationwide talent hunt.

The new flick from the Yash Raj stable will also mark the return of Shah Rukh- Aditya jodi after ‘Mohabbatein’ which was almost eight years earlier. The shooting for the film is likely to start in May with expected date of release at the end of the year.

As this flick will see the return of Aditya Chopra after almost eight years, everything is being planned minutely. The perfectionist director has instructed his production team to scout for a girl in the age group of twenty to twenty four, who is not only beautiful and exudes the cultural charm of India, but also has an athletic body.

The buzz doing the rounds in the industry is that Aditya Chopra wanted to sign Shah Rukh Khan for a film much earlier after ‘Chak De! India’ proved a super duper hit at the box office, but King Khan was too busy with his ‘Om Shanti Om’ to say yes to Adi’s project. Even, after his home production ‘Om Shanti Om’ became a hit with the audiences, Shah Rukh had not signed the ‘Rab….’ as his dates were booked for Karan Johar’s upcoming ‘ My Name is Khan’.

But somehow Karan Johar’s film got postponed to September this year and Shah Rukh’s dates became free up to that time, hence he signed this new Yash Raj’s flick to be shot from May onwards and released at the end of this year.

This new Aditya Chopra’s film like his earlier films ‘ Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge’ and ‘ Mohabbatein’ will have mushy romance of the lead couple in typical Yash Chopra style. ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, the title of the film, has been borrowed from a song of Manmohan Desai’s super duper hit film ‘Suhag’ starring Big B, Shashi Kapoor, Rekha and Parveen Babi.

The grapevine has it that in order to make a super duper hit film, Aditya Chopra is also in talks with Hrithik Roshan to act in a supporting role in it along with Shah Rukh Khan and a fresh beauty. If everything goes according to plan, the audiences can expect another super casting and a super hit masala film from the King of mushy romance, the Chopra.
