According to the grapevine, Oscar winning director Danny Boyle is all set to present a film directed by Anurag Kayshap.
The two grew close since the time Danny introduced a new camera to Kayshap for his last film Dev D.
Dream projectA source in the industry reveals, "Kayshap has had a dream project ready since the time he was working on No Smoking. Called Bombay Velvet, this multistarrer once had John Abraham cast in the lead role.
Now, there is a strong buzz that Anurag is in talks with Aamir Khan to play the lead in his period flick set in the early 1940s in Mumbai (then Bombay)." The source further adds, "Kayshap had run the idea of this film through Boyle when he was down in Mumbai promoting his multi-Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire last year.
He has since agreed to simply present the film so that the movie gets a far better chance in the international market. Aamir, on the other hand, has apparently heard the script but is still to give his elusive nod to the project. He will be surely tempted to say yes now as the film is going to be presented by Boyle."
A spokesperson for Aamir says the actor has not been approached for the project yet.
