Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj is searching for an actress for his movie ‘Mr. Mehta and Mrs. Singh’.
The movie, a satire on the institution of marriage, will be Bhardwaj’s first attempt at commercial cinema. So far Bhardwaj has made art-house films like Makdee , Maqbool and the under-production ‘Blue Umbrella’.
‘Mr. Mehta and Mrs. Singh’ will have Aamir Khan playing Mr. Mehta. Bhardwaj says he has been considering Rani Mukherjee to play Mrs. Singh in the movie which he describes as a mature love story.
However, Rani has still not been finalized and Bhardwaj is considering other options as well.
Besides this movie, Bhardwaj is also planning to make a movie with superstar Amitabh Bachchan . But he says the project is still in nascent stages.
Aamir and Rani played love interests in Vikram Bhatt’s movie Ghulam . They are also paired in Ketan Mehta’s forthcoming movie The Rising .
