No match for Emraan?
Emraan Hashmi finds himself in a strange predicament indeed. As a bonafide member of the 100-crore club, any actress cast opposite Emraan would need to be of a certain stature as well. However, that’s precisely what the director of the former serial kisser’s latest film is finding difficult to do.
Our sources tell us that Kunal Deshmukh, who will be helming Emraan’s next film for the Bhatt camp, hasn’t been able to finalise a suitable leading lady for the project. Apparently, the makers of the film feel that after starring with top-notch actresses like Vidya Balan, Emraan should only team up with other A-list leading ladies. The only hitch: None of the actresses in the running have dates to spare that could match with the project’s shoot requirements. “We did suggest Diana Penty and Prachi Desai for the project, but the filmmakers shot down the idea,” our source shared.
With no leading lady finalised, the hunt is still on for the perfect heroine for Emraan. We hear that the team has now decided to wait until the release of Ghanchakkar, with the expectation that its success at the box office will strengthen Emraan’s position. “The producers aren’t in mood to compromise on the cast. Having the right names will make a huge difference,” our source added. The latest apparently, is that Priyanka Chopra has been approached for the role, but for confirmation on who finally signs on the dotted line, watch this space.
