Monday, 28th July 2014, 05:00 PM IST After Shoojit Sircar announced in 2012 that he will team up with Ayushmann Khurrana and Yami Gautam from ‘Vicky Donor’, for a film titled ‘Hamara Bajaj’, news which has come out of late is that the said film will have a new heroine, script and title and will be directed by Amit Roy.
"Although the story is dear to Shoojit, he has to begin shooting ‘Piku’ soon with Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan.He was impressed by Amit's directorial prowess and asked him if he wants to take over his pet project. Amit immediately agreed," a source said.
The film’s leading lady now seems to be Taapsee Pannu of ‘Chashme Baddoor’ fame, although confirmation on the same still remains. Shooting will start after the release of Amit Roy’s Amit Sadh-Taapsee Pannu starrer ‘Running Shaadi.com’.
"The script has been revamped but the central plot of a tourist guide who comes to Mumbai to be a star, has been retained," added the source.
Amit Roy confirmed the news saying "Yes, I will be directing the film. Currently, I'm developing the script which has undergone several changes."
When asked if Taapsee will star opposite Ayushmann, Amit Roy said, "I had a great experience working with Taapsee. However, we are yet to get down to the paperwork for the next film.”
