It was touted as the long awaited coming together of Shah Rukh Khan and Vidhu Vinod Chopra. They had a number of false starts, the last being 3 Idiots.
But the film in question, Ferrari Ki Sawaari, after being offered to Shah Rukh, found its way to Aamir Khan. And even before this Ferrari could be green signalled, an altogether new man seems to be settling behind the wheels - Sharman Joshi.
While he’s a talented actor, Sharman hasn’t quite made the big league in Bollywood yet. Most of his appearances have been in multi-star projects. But after 3 Idiots, where he convincingly held his own against Aamir, the scales have tipped in his favour. And now Ferrari Ki Sawaari could be Sharman’s big break.
Our source says, “SRK was offered Ferrari Ki Sawaari but talks fizzled out. Then Vidhu wanted Aamir . However, the team at Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions voiced their opinion - that only Sharman Joshi could do justice to the character. Talks are finally on between Vidhu and Sharman.
They have apparently already had a couple of meetings. Vidhu though still wants Aamir to do the film, but Aamir has been extremely busy with his three films, so actually there’s only an outside chance that he will do the film.
It seems Sharman will, after all, get the major break he’s been waiting for, and he’s pretty excited by the prospect.”
Meanwhile, the official spokesperson of the film said, “We have just finalised our script and are still in the process of casting.” Sharman will just have to keep his finger crossed and hope Aamir and SRK’s loss turns out to be his gain.
