Induji, as the filmmaker is popularly known in the industry, has taken the film to his good friend Ajay. "The director was discussing the project with Ajay and he really liked the concept. The film has a really meaningful plotline, that's relevant with today's society, but treated in a really funny manner, in trademark Indra Kumar style. He heard the story and asked him to develop it. Now, he has given his nod to the project. The superstar's team is currently locking his dates for the film. This will be the first time Sidharth and Ajay will be sharing screen space, but both the roles perfectly suit them. They plan to mount it on a lavish scale because there are several elements in the movie," informs our khabri.

Ajay has a few films lined up - he begins shoot for Maidan, followed by SS Rajamouli's RRR and wraps up his work on Bhuj. Sid, on the other hand, is also finalising another project - a family drama, but the comedy will be his immediate next after SherShaah.
