After having shot for Kunal Kohli's Fanaa, Kajol is gradually, coming out of her self-imposed exile. Karan Johar seems to be hellbent on casting his good friend Kajol as the leading lady in his forthcoming film.

The film's storyline is not yet known other than the fact that the prolific filmmaker has been making frequent trips to New York and Los Angeles for research and scouting location.

However, Kajol is yet to sign on the dotted line.If all goes well Kajol will have much more than the routine blink-and-a-miss presence in a song sequence. Karan is definitely considering Kajol for his next film.

The actress has grand plans for hubby Ajay Devgan's directorial debut and is definitely looking at doing more films now. Her focus is gradually shifting back to work. In fact, she is responsible for quite a few things in Ajay's film. If she has the time she might just pick up Karan's film.

The film will most likely be shot in New York. Shah Rukh Khan will also be a part of the film. The film will have a strong social message for which the filmmaker has already made trips to a few NYC NGOs. However, Karan is yet to finish his script and finalise the dates.
