New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has signed some interesting projects. Besides Imtiaz Ali's untitled venture with Anushka Sharma, there is another film which is making the buzz right now.

Maverick filmmaker Aanand L Rai's next starring SRK in the lead is the film we are referring to. There has been a lot of speculation about the leading ladies in the project. According to BollywoodLife.com, after it was reported that Alia Bhatt has raced ahead of Deepika Padukone to bag the plum deal of starring the film, it has now come to light that the 'Dear Zindagi' star has not yet signed the film.

The report quotes the spokesperson from Rai's team as saying, “A lot of names have been thrown in but at the moment the female lead has not been finalised. The casting is underway and is taking time as it is a difficult role, in fact one of the most challenging that Aanand has ever worked on. The role needs a lot of prep time as well as shoot time for which a substantial chunk of dates are required. It’s not just about finishing this film but making it.”

Alia or Deepika, who do you think will fit the bill?
