The latest Bollywood updates.
After the huge success of Piku, Shoojit Sircar is gearing up for another women-centric movie. It will be based on three generations.
As reported by DNA, a source said, "Shoojit is keen to cast Madhuri Dixit-Nene, Rani Mukerji and Parineeti Chopra in it and has already approached them. If Rani says yes, it will be her first film after the birth of her baby daughter Adira. For Madhuri, it will be her comeback from the small screen. Parineeti hasn't worked in a three-heroine film since Ladies vs Vicky Bahl.
"All three portray strong characters bound together by family ties and if Shoojit gets all of them on board, it will be quite a casting coup," it added.
Among the three heroines, Parineeti is busy with her film Meri Pyaari Bindu. Reportedly, she has also been roped in for Homi Adajania's next.
Shoojit, on the other hand, is busy with his upcoming production venture PINK, starring Amitabh Bachchan in it.
