According to our sources, Amitabh Bachchan has given his consent for the same and movie will go on floors by end of this year. The comic thriller has been under production for quiet a long time now and it was actually supposed to be made before Om Shanti Om.
It is learnt that the reason for the delay was the fact that SRK wasn't too pleased with the way the storyline was shaping up. And besides that Big B too wasn't keeping too well then hence, SRK and Farah chose to put Happy New Year on hold and started with OSO instead.
Farah has apparently completely reworked the script now and the super successful combination of SRK and Farah are all set to make a hat-trick with Happy New Year.
The script of the film revolves around a well planned heist that runs into billions and the mission is spearheaded by SRK and his team. Big B's role in the film is supposedly having grey shades.
Big B n SRK first worked together in Aditya Chopra's Mohabbatein followed by the super hit Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and then again in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. Though they both were together in last year's Bhootnath they didn't have a single scene together.
