Director Rajkumar Santoshi, who has been toying with the idea of making a love story for some time, has signed Bollywood's new sensation Ranbir Kapoor for a film. He will cast Katrina Kaif in the female lead.
Confirming the development, Santoshi said, "I'm making this film, Ranbir has confirmed and even Katrina has almost confirmed. I wanted to work with Ranbir the minute I saw him in Saawariya. I see that special spark in him. In fact, after I saw him in Saawariya, I sent him a bouquet. I was so impressed by him."
Following the unexpected debacle of Halla Bol, producers are no longer eager for more from the Ajay Devgan-Santoshi pair.
Apparently, PVR Films, which was supposed to support Santoshi's multimillion rupee historical movie on emperor Ashoka, has backed out of the project.
Tips, with which Santoshi had a long-standing tiff over outstanding payments for The Legend Of Bhagat Singh, will produce the film.
However, Santoshi denies differences with Tips.
"We had a very fruitful working relationship during Bhagat Singh. If we didn't, why would we be working together again," he said.
The director is especially excited about this project because it's a love story that he is writing himself.
"For very long now I have wanted to make a pure love story. I wrote this script some time back. I was waiting for the right face. I think Ranbir was destined to be the hero in my love story," Santoshi added.
Two years ago, Santoshi was supposed to make a film called Ranbir with Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan.
