The Dil Dhadakne Do gal is now the prime contender to star opposite Hrithik Roshan in his home-production, which will be helmed by Sanjay Gupta.
For those who've come in late, Kareena Kapoor was Rakesh Roshan's first choice for the leading lady. But Bebo turned down the film because she didn't want to play a blind girl (Kareena doesn't want to play blind lover to blind Hrithik, Dec 6).
A few days later, Parineeti Chopra too declined the offer (Parineeti says 'No' to Hrithik, Dec 30).
FYI, Sudhanshu Pandey had claimed that the Jazbaa director is making this blind couple story based on a script (Hrithik's next with Daddy dearest lands in legal trouble, Dec 4) which he (Pandey) has written. The latest on this model-turned-actor is that he is still on a bed of hot coal and has decided to not give up without a legal fight. We wonder if he'll manage to stop the Roshans.
Meanwhile, Anushka must decide quickly. The film is believed to have an astounding script. Roshan Sr and Gupta plan to put it on floors by end of this month.
