In what might appear as a pleasant surprise for many, Bollywood hunk John Abraham has now been cast across none other than Shah Rukh Khan as a parallel lead in the upcoming movie ‘Happy New Year’. Latest from the Farah Khan camp, the shooting for the film will begin in August this year.Shah Rukh Khan has a very few two-hero films in his career, and is known to shoulder most of his movies alone. Apart from ‘Karan Arjun’ where he played with Salman Khan and ‘Kal Ho Na Ho where he was seen with Saif Ali Khan, the Badshah has hardly been seen with another hero on the silver screen.However, if speculations are to be believed, Farah has promised John a major part in her film. The two share a Parsi connection, and Farah is known to be very fond of Abraham. And as far as John is concerned, post the success of ‘Housefull 2’, he sure is looking forward to working with Shah Rukh.
