The entire Bollywood fraternity knows how eager Karan Johar is to get Salman Khan to do a film for him. Bizarrely, nothing between Karan and Salman seems to work out. They were supposed to collaborate on a big-budget period film Shuddhi, to be directed by Karan Malhotra. Salman kept Karan hanging on for nearly a year before saying no.
More recently ,Salman and Karan Johar were to collaborate on another historical The Battle Of Saragarhi as co-producers. That too has been put on the backburner. But it looks like Karan has finally hit on a golden formula to get Salman into Dharma. Karan will co-producer Salman’s brother-in-law Aayush Sharma’s debut film.
The project that will take off by year-end will have a topnotch leading lady opposite Aayush. It was reported that Salman’s buddy Katrina Kaif would fill in the heroine’s space with Aayush. But sources close to the project refute this rumour. Katrina won’t suit Aayush. Salman Bhai is looking at a younger face opposite Aayush,” says the source.
