The yarn-weavers of entertainment journalism, are having a field day, creating their own star casts of high-profile films, just for kicks and eyeballs.
The latest brainwave on Bollywood comes from a portal that proclaims in bold, that Raj Kumar Hirani’s next “may” bring together Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol when in fact nothing has been finalized yet except the male lead Shah Rukh Khan who plays an illegal immigrant in the US or Canada(not decided as yet) in a satire on the migrant issue.
The same story also claims that Manoj Bajpayee is part of the cast of Hirani’s film. But when I asked Manoj about it he denied any knowledge of being signed for a Raj Kumar Hirani film.
A source close to the project confided, “There is only Shah Rukh Khan. Besides him nothing is locked in. Not even the script which is going through many changes.”
