He reasons, “The punchline is the most important part of the song and it’s too early to give that away now. It’s also going to be an important part of our promotional strategies.”

Currently, the producer is discussing another highlight song sequence of Ready with Bazmee and the team. “We’ll be building another grand set for that too because that’s the second larger than life number of our movie,” he asserts.

SRK goes Aamir Khan way

Shahrukh Khan must have lamented the truth that he skipped out on ‘3 Idiots’, the block buster movie that was influenced from Chetan Bhagat’s novel ‘Five Point Somebody’.

Aamir Khan did wonders to ‘3 Idiots’ which was seriously borrowed from Chetan Bhagat’s book but strayed on events and in its main theme.

After having missed out on ‘3 Idiots’, Shahrukh is not in the mood to let go of the chance gain. Apparently, SRK has signed ‘Two States’, a movie based on Chetan Bhagat’s another book by the same name. The film shall be directed by the acclaimed Vishal Bhardwaj and Sajid Nadiadwala is producing the project.Initially, Sajid was contemplating Priyanka Chopra and Saif Ali Khan as the lead celebrities with Siddharth Anand to direct the venture. But may be, the disastrous fate of ‘Anjaana Anjaani’ has prompted Sajid to change his mind.

Getting SRK and Vishal onboard is the best thing a producer can ask for! The film is inspired from the real life story of Chetan Bhagat and is a love story about a Punjabi man and a South Indian girl. Shahrukh has apparently loved the plot and has given his nod to the movie. As for the actress, it is speculated that a beginner may be cast opposite the Shahrukh Khan.
