Buzz is that the Mere Brother Ki Dulhan director is keen to work with Katrina Kaif again.
As she was part of his debut film with Imran Khan, he feels there is the comfort factor with Kat. Ali had recently also accompanied Kat to the Ajmer dargah.
Was it to seek divine intervention before the start of a new venture? Hmmm...
The director has already chosen Ranveer Singh and Arjun Kapoor for his film.
Not love triangle
"The film is titled 'Gunday' and will be completely shot in Kolkata. It's a period film set in 1971 to 1988. Both my actors Arjun Kapoor and Ranveer Singh will be seen as Bengalis in the film. It's not a love triangle and the film will go on floors in December," Ali Abbas Zafar told.
After doing "Band Baaja Baaraat" and "Ladies vs Ricky Bahl", this will be Ranveer's third movie with Yash Raj Films (YRF) banner and the same goes for Arjun, who did "Ishaqzaade" with them and also signed "Aurangzeb".
However, for the first time the two actors are coming together on screen.
When asked will Arjun and Ranveer work on their Bengali diction, Zafar said: "It's still a choice that I have not yet made. It's a commercial Hindi film and I want to stick to my subject with honesty. As far as Bengali diction is concerned, we are still finalising that, we don't want to make it sound funny."
About the leading lady, he said that it has not been "finalised yet" and added: "Talks are on. Once we finalise it, we will make an official announcement."
