Reigning Mrs. World Aditi Gowitrikar is turning out to be the latest rising star in the tinsel town. Impressed by her good looks, more and more filmmakers are making a beeline to sign her.
Recently Aditi signed to play the female lead in Maanav film's next venture tentatively titled "Zindagi Ban Gaye Ho Tum". Lesser-known filmmaker M. Rajesh will direct the film.
Its producer Balkrishna Modi is reported to have approached Arjun Rampal to play the male lead, but the young actor hasn't given his consent owing to the date problems. Grapevine says that Balkrishna is trying to rope in one of the leading Khans in Bollywood. Rest of the star cast and the technical crew is yet to be finalized.
Rajesh, who has also written the script, describes "Zindagi Ban Gaye Ho Tum" as "a heart-warming story" that is "far removed from stereotypical teenybopper romantic capers". Moreover, he says it will test Aditi's histrionics to the hilt.
Young composers Nikhil-Vinay are reported to have recorded six songs (penned by lyricist Yogesh) at Mumbai's B.M. Digital recording studios.
Aditi has already done a Tamil film and is expected to make her Bollywood debut opposite Arbaaz Khan and Sanjay Kapoor in "Soch".
