status: pre-production
And with Aamir Khan productions being right up there with the back to back successes of Lagaan and now Taare Zameen Par, any production from the man Aamir is bound to be talked about and eagerly awaited.
Now that the third venture with Abbas Tyrevala is almost complete, Aamir is keen to get the next one rolling. The film is titled DELHI BELLY and is a sex comedy aimed at a more international audience.
Initially this urbane sex comedy was supposed to be directed by Swedish Robert Nylund. However something seems to have soured between the two, and now we have Aamir Khan handing over the reigns of this baby to ad film maker Abhinay Deo. Aamir Khan is not likely to feature in the film ...but recent talks are with Ranbir Kapoor to play one of the key roles in the flick.
Meanwhile the film did get interesting when it just got announced that Chitragadha Singh is likely to be cast in the film. Chitragadha have done a couple of ads, and won rave reviews for her work in Sudhir Mishra's Hazaar Khwahishein Aisi.
UPDATE APR 29: It has been reported that Chitragadha Singh has rejected the offer to sign up the movie. The reaon why she gives a no to Aamir Khan - well , as per her though there is a strong script, this dark comedy about three men have no much scope for the leading lady. Graceful exit, then!
UPDATE OCT 2 : Post the success of JAANE TU, Imran Khan has given a big boost to this project by hopping aboard. However he took time to clear out one thing to all the audiences - he makes it clear that the film is no sex comedy by any means. You can catch that interview at Hindustan Times.
