By the time the director got ready to start the film in September, he is quoted to have said, "The kind of cinema I make is incompatible with Shah Rukh's image. I know he has a huge fan following among children and women who love his kind of films. And the film I planned is completely opposite of the image he has amongst his fans.. I would be a total mismatch with Shah Rukh."
Well now Varma has decided to revive his Time machine and the maverick director is getting the all Bachchans together for the film.
The director took the decision of reviving the film during the outdoor shoot of his film Sarkar which is currently in progress in Hyderabad. Not only will the film have Aishwarya and Abhishek Bachchan but senior Bachchan too will be part of the project.
Ramu apparently narrated the script to Abhishek Bachchan during the shoot. Abhishek was quite excited with the subject and immediately agreed to be part of the film. Aishwarya will replace Kareena Kapoor in the project.
So while SRK has been donning all of Amitabh's roles in his remakes, Amitabh too has now decided to don a role earlier offered to SRK.
So is this one more brick in the SRK-Amitabh war?
But it seems SRK will not be left behind in the rat race and is currently in talks for producing his own sci-fi film. Apparently Shahrukh is in talks with south director of super hit film Sivaji to direct his sci-fi film which Shahrukh may even produce. So it seems SRK has decided that no matter what it takes he will do his own sci-fi film.
