Baby one more time

The hushed rumours that had begun when Rani Mukerji was seen hand-in-hand with Karan Johar and Aamir Khan at a recent event  seems to be coming true. Sources say that Karan Johar is in talks with Aamir Khan to cast Rani Mukerji opposite him.

Sources also add that the talks are in the initial stages and just the ideas are being tossed about right now. Aamir and Rani were seen in the movie Ghulam which was a big box office success.

However, the last film Mangal Pandey: The Rising (2005) was a box office failure.

“Rani was very eager to work with Karan and she had been discussing about a project for a long time now. But Aamir was very busy with 3 Idiots and hence didn’t have the time to discuss anything.

Now, he is free from acting assignments for the time being and hence they can discuss projects,” says a source.

Rani Mukherjee had earlier told DNA that she thought that Karan Johar was the most talented director among the  “younger crop of filmmakers”, “Working with Karan is a dream because you know that you don’t have to do anything.

Karan has got everything chalked out in his mind. You don’t have to bother about whether the film will turn out to be a good film or a bad film. When it’s Karan, the film has to be very, very good,” she had said when her last film Dil Bole Hadippa was releasing.

The 32-year-old actor has worked in several Karan Johar films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) and others.

“Rani is very eager to work with Karan. She thinks that it’s Karan who can breathe life into her career. That is why she is pushing Karan so much to cast her.

Karan is not averse to the idea also. Only that, he needs a concrete subject that can do justice to the two actors.

More than Rani, the idea of working with Aamir is what is exciting Karan at the moment. Let’s see, if Karan makes an announcement about it,” the source adds.
