But if the latest buzz is anything to go by, then the former Miss World has decided against doing the film, for reasons unknown though.


According to a report in DNA, “With Priyanka stepping down, Sanjay is now scouting for other options. They have decided to approach two other big A-listers but this time, Sanjay doesn’t want any news to be out till he confirms his leading lady.”


It is also being believed that Abhishek Bachchan has been signed for the film after Irrfan couldn’t spare dates for the project. And now that Abhishek is on board, we wonder who the leading lady would be?


Will it be Aishwarya Rai? Let’s wait and watch.
