Initially, there was buzz that Shahid might be offered the film since he was a part of Vivaah, which was a success. However, the creative heads decided Tusshar would suit the character better than Shahid.
A source from the project reveals, "It's a love story, but quite different from the ones Rajshri make. It's in an urban setting. Even though the backdrop is modern, the film will continue to reflect the banner's ideology. The film will be going on floors in coming months. "
Shak forced to wait
A few weeks back, there was buzz that Shahid might be under consideration for another of the banner's films. However, with Tusshar being signed on, it looks like Shahid will have to wait.
The source adds, "Shahid is keen to work with Rajshri. He knows that someone like Sooraj (Barjatya) will portray him in the best light and also offer him a great role. He was even heard telling common friends how Vivaah is one of his best films. "
Director Manavsi Sharma confirms, "Yes. I am doing a film with Rajshri, but the details will be announced in a few days. "
