Karan Johar’s next rumored to star Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor!

It’s been just a few weeks since Karan Johar’s most recent release hit cinema screens. The film, Student of the Year, has been the launch-pad for Karan’s discoveries, Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt. The three have made their Bollywood debut with the film and have received a lot of acclaim for their performances in this Karan Johar project. Now, even as Karan Johar continues to ride high on the success of his fifth directorial venture, rumors of his next have begun surfacing.

The director himself has also spoken about his plans for an upcoming film, based on an idea by his late father, Yash Johar. Quoting Karan, “It’s a period love story and it’s a script I have had for the past eight years. In fact, my father had researched the film. He had gone to Lahore for three months before he passed away. After his demise, I had such an emotional attachment with the script that I couldn’t bring myself to work on it”.

And that’s not all. There have been reports of Karan Johar having signed his close friend and lucky mascot, Shah Rukh Khan, for the film. Apparently, the filmmaker has also roped in Ranbir Kapoor to star alongside Shah Rukh Khan. None of these rumors have been confirmed to be true however, neither by the actors, nor the director. On previous account, Shah Rukh Khan has starred in all the films directed by Karan Johar, leaving aside Student of the Year. Ranbir Kapoor on the other hand has starred in Karan Johar’s productions including Wake Up Sid and the film-in-making, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.

As for Karan Johar’s latest, Student of the Year, this campus-romance film has its fresh cast, Siddharth Malhotra, Varun Dhawan and Alia Bhatt, play the roles of students at a prestigious school competing against each other to win a trophy. The film released on the 19^th of October, 2012, and has been doing extremely well at the box office since its release.
