The makers of Shahid Kapoor's next are not just looking for one but two new girls opposite the actor.
After launching Anushka Sharma in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Aditya Chopra has decided to cast new faces in the Maneesh Sharma rom-com that starts later this August.
According to sources associated with the movie, the Chopras are on the look out for two, very diverse girls. "Keeping in mind the kind of story it is, with two female leads, the Chopras want to ensure that the casting is right.
More so because one is a sizzling, oomphy girl while the other is a demure damsel, " reveals our source associated with the movie. Considering that Maneesh is currently recuperating from a slipped disc and has been advised rest for a few months, the shoot is scheduled to start only in August.
"So the team has considerable time to shortlist the probable girls before the Chopras and Maneesh take the final call, " says our source, adding that after finalising the female cast, the girls will also be groomed accordingly.
The spokesperson of Yashraj maintains, "Casting is still in progress and we're looking at all options. We will make an announcement when we finalise the cast."
