Danny Boyle may be about to bring two of Bollywood's biggest stars together in his upcoming movie, Bombay Velvet.

The Slumdog Millionaire director has signed on Aamir Khan and is now in talks with Shahrukh Khan to join the cast. The film will be directed by Anurag Kashyap and will be based on a series of real life incidents that happened in Bombay in the 1940s.

Boyle is in the advanced stage of discussion with SRK and if everything works out, the actor will be part of the film. The film has three leads– the second lead will be played by a newcomer and the third by Aamir Khan.

SRK is being finalized for the first lead. Boyle had tried working with King Khan even during Slumdog Millionaire, but the part eventually went to Anil Kapoor.
