/> Ever since Darsheel Safary became the youngest superstar of Bollywood getting nominated with Shah Rukh Khan for the best-actor award in the popular awards and all, rumours have been running wild about which film Darsheel would do next.

After the release of Taare Zameen Par the young prodigy's parents were very sure that the boy would now concentrate on his studies and go back to his normal life.

But then the offers got more and more lucrative. The going price for Darsheel is apparently 75 lakh rupees.

And the one tempting Darsheel out of his determination to stay away from the movies is Sanjay Dutt.

The film to be produced by Suniel Shetty's Popcorn Entertainment proposes to bring Dutt and Darsheel together.

Entitled Dedh (1 ½ ) the comedy is to be helmed by the 123 director Ashwani Dheer.

Says Ashwin, "Sanjay Dutt is final for the project. We need to work out the dates. As for the boy, yes we do want Darsheel and are trying for him. Let's see, "

Dheer isn't the only director wooing Darsheel for a post-TZP encore. Several other filmmakers have the same idea.

Debutante director Vikram Singh's forthcoming mama-bhanja tale Mastang Mama which stars Ruslaan Mumtaz as the young and hip Uncle wants Dasrsheel to play the nephew.

Says Ruslaan, "It about two brats one grownup and the other a kid. Darsheel would be ideal. But I believe he's too expensive."

The cross-generation child-adult dramas which started with Amitabh Bachchan and Ayesha Kapoor in Sanjay Bhansali's Black are here to stay.

Even as the Big B returns to play little Aman Siddiqui 's ghost-dost in Vivek Sharma's Bhootnath, several other directors are readying projects about the child and his guardian-angel.

But nothing like a film that pitches a big star against little Darsheel.

Says a source, "See, the Sanjay Dutt film with another kid is just one more film. But Dutt and Darsheel. Dat rocks!"
