Filmmaker Rohit Shetty may pull off the most enviable casting coup. The Singham Returns director has roped in actor Shah Rukh Khan and is in talks with actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the film's leading lady.
While Shah Rukh Khan is confirmed as the male lead the director is yet to lock in Aishwarya as SRK's leading lady.
If Rohit succeeds in locking the stellar cast for his project, then SRK and Aishwarya will romance each other onscreen after 12 years. They were last seen together in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 2002 film Devdas.
Shah Rukh and Aishwarya have featured together as siblings in 2000 film Josh and Aishwarya had also done a cameo role in Shah Rukh Khan's Mohabbatein, co-starring Amitabh Bachchan. She also appeared in the item number Ishq Kameena in SRK's film Shakti.
This will be Shah Rukh and Rohit's second project after 2013 superhit Chennai Express, which featured actress Deepika Padukone as the female lead.
Meanwhile, Aishwarya is all set for her comeback after a sabbatical of four years in Sanjay Gupta's Jazbaa opposite Irrfan Khan.

Poster number three of PK is out and has stars not just Aamir Khan but also Sanjay Dutt. Both are fully clad, which may disappoint some female fans.
Aamir Khan appears as a cop, wearing a uniform a little too big for him, staring grimly into the camera. Sanjay Dutt gets no unique costume of his own and instead appears in the same bandwala get-up that Aamir wore in the previous poster.
Sanjay Dutt is the Bhairon Singh whose name is emblazoned across the giant tuba both actors have toted in the poster, reveals Aamir. In Bhojpuri he says, "Why are you staring? Are you confused? This is not me, this is my friend, Bhairon Singh." Drum roll.
Anushka Sharma, who also co-stars in PK, has so far not made an appearance in the three posters released. The first poster, starring an almost-nude Aamir, is of course indelibly imprinted on the nation's consciousness.
In an aside, Aamir Khan made something of a boo-boo while tweeting the third poster.
This original tweet from him had a promo for his TV show Satyamev Jayate attached instead of the PK motion poster:
