This did not take off and Shankar had managed
to impress Shahrukh Khan so much that he had expressed
his willingness to not just star in it but produce
it as well, under his Red Chillies Entertainment
banner, all this after listening to a one line
pitch of the movie.
Shankar had even announced that the project would
hit the floors by January 2008. For this purpose,
he had sent the fully bound script of the movie,
in English, for Shahrukh’s approval. Shankar
says that contrary to media reports that Shahrukh
had expressed discontent over the script, the
actor had only opined he didn’t fit into
certain scenes and has hence turned down the idea
of doing the film. With this both have decided
to shelve the project parting ways amicably. Another
chance for the two coming together is not ruled
out though.
