Hrithik, Ash May Come Together Again.

hat director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has signed on Hrithik Roshan to play the lead in his next movie is old hat now. But what is really creating a buzz is the possibility of the director getting Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to play the female lead in the movie.

There has been no confirmation of this piece of news, but the buzz in B town is strong enough. Bhansali's film is expected to go on the floor by next July. If the news is true, then this could be Hrithik and Ash's third film together after Dhoom 2 and Jodhaa Akbar. Their chemistry was palpable in both films and Bhansali must be counting on that to do the trick for his next untitled venture. It is supposed to be a romantic tale penned by the director himself. Of course, Bhansali and Ash have worked together before in Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, probably the biggest hit of Ash's career. It will be a first time for him and Hrithik though. Earlier, Bhansali was planning on making Heera Mandi, but the film required a huge cast. It seems that hassle of coordinating the dates of so many actors has forced Bhansali to shelve the project for now and has decided to go ahead with this mature love story starring Ash and Hrithik. Guess we will have to wait for an official announcement on this one. Ash, who is currently shooting for Mani Ratnam, is expected to formally sign the film soon.
