Mangat, who produced last year's critically acclaimed "Omkara", is spending Rs.100 million on "Haaley Dil". Ajay is keenly scanning the list of possible actors as he has taken the responsibility of finalising the male lead.
"Since her father is his manager as well as mentor, Ajay is like a big brother to Amita," said a source.
Ajay's brother Anil is to direct the love story.
The film is expected to go on floors by the end of this month.
