Doubts have been raised about filmmaker Shimit Amin’s proposed movie with superstar Shah Rukh Khan .
Rumours have been abuzz recently that the movie, to be made under Yash Raj banner, has been shelved. But the latest reports claim otherwise.
The word is that the project would definitely materialize, however, it may still take months for the shooting to begin as Shimit Amin is busy in pre-production work.
The movie will have Shah Rukh playing a hockey coach. He will coach a team of young girls in the film.
It is learnt that the movie would star a number of fresh female faces. Auditioning for the movie has been going on recently and few names are believed to be under consideration for the roles.
It is a unique opportunity for Bollywood aspirants to get a break in a film that stars the superstar of the industry.
However, it won’t be a cakewalk for the girls who will eventually be finalized. They will have to undergo an arduous training in hockey before the movie’s shooting commences.
It is also learnt that Shah Rukh too would take a brief training in the sport for his role.
The movie is said to be based on a script by Jaideep Sahni who has written important movies like Company and Bunty Aur Babli . Abhimanyu is the casting director. It is he who would finalize about a dozen girls for the hockey team in the film.
The movie is likely to roll in a couple of months.
