Shah Rukh Khan, Alia Bhatt, Deepika Padukone In Anand L. Rai’s Next?

Alia Bhatt has already made headlines for becoming the youngest actress ever to star opposite Shah Rukh Khan in Gauri Shinde’s upcoming flick. The Shaandaar star seems to have bagged another project with the King Khan, which will have two leading ladies. The other female lead, who has been approached for the role, is Shah Rukh’s Chennai Express co-star Deepika Padukone.

Mid-Day quoted a source as saying, “A lot of names were being considered for the two roles and we were keen on casting well-known names of the industry. Deepika and Alia are strong contenders for the parts and if things fall into place, they will come on board”. Nothing can be said to be confirmed as of now.

Another source said, “Post ‘Tamasha’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, Deepika has not signed any new project at the moment, so there is a possibility that she takes up the film. Alia, on the other hand, will begin shooting for Gauri Shinde’s next with Shah Rukh in November. However, Rai’s film will only begin once SRK finishes shooting for Gauri’s film so it shouldn't be a problem for Alia either. The official announcement of the star cast will be made soon”.
