Pakistani actress Humaima Malick, acclaimed for her role in "Bol", has reportedly been approached for Kunal Deshmukh's next directorial venture that features Emraan Hashmi in the lead.

Deshmukh's yet untitled film will go on floors by the end of July.

A source close to the team said: "Humaima has been approached, but nothing is official right now. A screen test has been conducted, UTV and Kunal are looking at a fresh pairing for Emraan and if things would fall in place, in all probability she will step into the project."

Deshmukh had earlier directed Emraan in "Jannat" and "Jannat 2".
