/> It's official. Siddharth Anand whose new film Tara Rum Pum has done decently at the boxoffice is on to much a bigger project.

He has been given the task of directing Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Singh's son in his crucial post-debut film.

Confirming this development Siddharth says, "Yes I'm definitely directing Ranbir in his and my next film. We're currently locking on the rest of the cast. In fact Ranbir is the only actor we've decided on."

Ranbir's debut film is the eagerly-awaited Sanjay Leela Bhansali opus Sawariya which opens this Diwali.

Doesn't Siddharth feel burdened by the responsibility of directing this much -anticipated debutant in his crucial post-debut film?

"No! That's the challemge which I look forward to tackling. I agree it's a big responsibility to direct the follow-up film to such a big debut. But I'd like to treat every film, mine or my actor's, as a debut and give it my best shown."

The director and the newcomers are family friends. " I've known Ranbir from our childhood. We've virtually grown up together. We had decided we'd work together.And clichéd as it amy sound, Ranbir is the best suited actor for the role that I've in mind.

He's as excited about the script and the film as we at Yashraj are. It's very motivating for a filmmaker to have an actor so enthusiastic about a project. I'm loving every moment of this new challenge."

Yashraj Films has done some of Ranbir's father Rishi Kapoor's finest films from Kabhi Kabhie to Hum Tum and Fanah. Now it's the son's turn.
