Adapted from the bestselling book with the same title, ‘The Fault in our Stars’ is about a young girl suffering from cancer who falls in love with a boy at the support group. Talking about the project, the Cocktail director told, “Yes, I have been asked to make a Hindi adaptation of the best-selling book ‘The Fault in Our Stars’. As of now, it’s being scripted and only after I lock the draft will we finalise the cast and decide when to shoot it”.

The other film with Sushant and Alia is being touted as a reincarnated love story. Answering if the lead pairing is a bit unusual, the director added, “I don’t think it is an unusual pair. It’s a fresh pairin, both actors are young and I think there is a nice organic balance between the two. It is not a remake, it is a fresh script written by Dinesh Vijan and it is his story. It is not going to go out before next October, so it is premature to discuss it now”.

After having directed the witty and lively Finding Fanny last year, Homi is currently in news to have helmed the two minutes short film with Deepika titled ‘My Choice’. The short film talks about the freedom and space a woman should have while making her own decisions.
