Hrithik Roshan to cast Sara Ali Khan as female lead for Super 30?

Sara Ali Khan and Hrithik Roshan

After reports of Hrithik Roshan and Ashutosh Gowariker contemplating casting Sara Ali Khan in their next venture, now comes news that the actor is also hoping to bring her aboard Super 30. A source says that discussions with filmmaker Vikas Bahl are underway to pair Saif Ali Khan's daughter alongside Roshan in the film. It is based on mathematician Anand Kumar's life.

"Roshan is keen that the association materialise. He has pitched her to Vikas. The talks have been initiated," the source says. The duo was set to get together for a Karan Malhotra venture, which was to mark Khan's debut. However, it was eventually put on the backburner. While cinephiles had pointed out that the pairing would be uncanny, given the age difference, Roshan had said, "Age is never a prerequisite [for casting]."
