After Bachna Ae Haseeno, Ranbir ’s second film with YRF, Rocket Singh: Salesman of the Year will release on December 11 this year. It is a Shimit Amin film (he made Chak De India) and it is highly anticipated. Ranbir’s film with Aditya Chopra will be his third with the production house. Usually actors are on three-film contracts. This is the first time that Aditya Chopra will be directing a film without Shah Rukh Khan as DDLJ, Mohabbatein and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi all starred SRK in diverse roles. SRK who has often said that he cannot say no to Adi has had to make an exception because he has no dates for the next two years when he will be shooting for Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2 and Farah Khan’s Happy New Year.
A source tells us that Aditya Chopra was keen on directing Dhoom 3 as Sanjay Gadhvi who directed the first two films in the franchise is no longer with YRF and also, the production house needed a big hit after most of its films flopped in 2008. He wanted to make Dhoom 3 soon after RNBDJ but couldn’t for the lack of a proper script and it was not possible to unite Adi’s dream cast including SRK and Kareena.
Now he has written a fresh and youthful love story that will be reminiscent of DDLJ. He has zeroed in on Ranbir Kapoor to star in it because not only is he a good actor, but he also has a chocolate boy image and is a rage among young girls. He fits the bill of a romantic hero perfectly. Ranbir is currently shooting for Rajneeti after which he will complete Siddharth Anand’s Anjana Anjani in a month. So he has enough dates next year and no one in his right senses would refuse Aditya Chopra.
The heroine of the film hasn’t been cast yet. Shooting for the film will start next year and like RNBDJ, which released at the end of 2008, this one is most likely to release in December 2010.
