Shah Rukh,
Sushmita in Dulha Mil Gaya?
Mumbai—Though actors Shah Rukh Khan and Sushmita Sen are yet to sign on
the dotted line, producer Viveck Vaswani seems set to cast them in his
film "Dulha Mil Gaya".
Vaswani's Insight Productions will shoot this big budget film in
Trinidad and Tobago, reports Bollywood Trade.
The first Indian film to be shot on the Carribean island may see some
known cricket players, including Brian Lara. But Vaswani has brushed
aside reports that he was keen to cast Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar
in a small role as "rumour".
Vaswani who is all charged about the project said: "The film has become
the hottest title in the industry and we have been inundated with calls
from producers asking us to part with the title."
The film marks the directorial debut of Mudassar Aziz, writer of Tanuja
Chandra's "Zindaggi Rocks" and Mahesh Bhatt's "Showbiz".
"Mudassar is keen to work with Sushmita after 'Zindaggi Rocks'. We are
planning to meet Sushmita," said Vaswani, who is just back from Trinidad
after filming probable locations.
Talking about Sushmita he said: "I have known Sushmita since her first
film 'Dastak' which was released 10 years ago. I have been closely
following her career since."
If Shah Rukh signs on the dotted lines, he will be featured as a rich
Trinidadian millionaire.
It may be recalled that Vaswani had cast Shah Rukh in the early years of
his career for "Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman" which was directed by Aziz
Mirza. The film was Mirza's directorial debut and made him the most
sought after director and also boosted Shah Rukh's career.
Vaswani has written the story of "Dulha Mil Gaya" and describes it as a
warm and witty film set in Trinidad that will have many firsts to its
credits.
"It is one of the finest stories I have written and will be the most
promising directorial debut of 2007, with Mudassar doing the screenplay,
dialogues, lyrics and the direction. He is an incredible powerhouse of
talent," he said.
Vaswani has decided to release the film in May 2007 and has already
struck a deal for international rights of the film.—Agencies
