After being appreciated by the audiences as an onscreen couple in ‘Dear Zindagi’ released in 2016, speculations were surfacing that Alia Bhatt and Shah rukh Khan might be seen working together again for another movie. The news was recently confirmed and the project would be Aanand L Rai’s next movie. Alia, King Khan, and Aanand L Rai were spotted together at the Dubai Airport suggesting that Rai has found the second lead for his upcoming project. The other actress who is already been finalized for the movie is Katrina Kaif. Aanand L Rai initially finalized Deepika Padukone for the second lead but it seems that the actress was too busy with her dates and schedule for the period film ‘Padmavati’ and said no to Rai’s the project. However, the rumors suggested that more than the problem of dates, the reason behind Deepika’s letting down the project was the equation between Katrina and Deepika, due to Deepika’s ex and Katrina’s present beau actor Ranbir Kapoor. The news says that when the director approached Alia with the project, she gave a verbal consent for the movie, but the written commitment is still in the pending status. The movie is predicted to go on floors later this year after Katrina gets free from her present schedule in Abu Dhabi, for Salman Khan starrer, ‘Tiger Zinda Hai’. The pairing of Katrina and Alia for the movie will otherwise also help the film as the two girls share a close bond and are often spotted together working out at the gym or usually chitchatting.
