Enlarge ImageIt has been reported that Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol are coming together in Rohit Shetty’s next. However, the director maintains that so far the script is not ready and all he knows is that SRK is in his film. He hasn’t even written the heroine’s part. So, at this point, it’s probably wishful thinking on the part of SRK-Kajol fans, given that it has been four years since the beloved jodi’s last outing together, My Name is Khan (2010).

Now there is a strong buzz that Rohit’s next is the remake of Hum (1991). Initial reports said it was a Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi remake. The common thing between the two films is that it is a story of three brothers. Both films have another thing in common — they are both family entertainers — which is Rohit’s forte. However an insider maintains, “Rohit’s next is a story of three brothers but it is not a Hum remake.”

The new team
Enlarge ImageHum, directed by Mukul Anand, had three brothers played by Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth and Govinda. Says our source, “In Rohit’s film, SRK will play the eldest brother while Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor are being considered to play the roles of his younger brothers.”

The patch-up
A source says, “SRK and Kajol recently met on a flight and chatted for two hours. They spoke about the role he had in mind for her in Rohit’s next. Of course, like all Rohit’s films, perhaps only the basic concept from the original will be used. Like Golmaal 3 and Bol Bachchan were remakes of Khatta Meetha and Gol Maal respectively. Rohit also wants to remake Angoor. ”
