Exclusive: Ranbir Kapoor in Aditya Chopra's next?

Aditya Chopra whose last directorial venture Befikre with his blue-eyed boy Ranveer Singh crashed at the box office, is now looking for a complete change of cast. Having directed Shah Rukh Khan in most of his films before turning to a Ranveer, Adi is now looking at doing an out-and-out romantic film with Ranbir Kapoor.

While Ranbir’s father Rishi Kapoor has been closely associated with the Yash Raj banner for decades now, Ranbir has worked with Yash Raj films only once before —Bachna Ae Haseeno — and that too because his then best friend, Siddharth Anand had directed it.

Says a source in the know, “Adi offered Ranbir two films after the latter’s debut in Saawariya. Ranbir for reasons best known to him, said no to both. But now with a few flops behind both of them, Adi and Ranbir are keen to work with each other. They are coming together for Adi’s next.”
