After failing to convince Vidya Balan and then Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to play the female lead in his remake of “Satte Pe Satta”, Soham Shah seems to have finally found his lady to fill in Hema Malini’s shoes.
Sanjay Dutt, the producer and the lead actor of the project asked Karisma Kapoor to step in as the heroine. Karisma is reading the script and is very much interested in doing the film, sources reveal.
“Sanjay wants a very Indian looking girl. After Aishwarya refused to work in the film Dutt approached his ‘Lagey Raho Munnabhai’ co-star Vidya Balan. Apparently, she too refused,” a source told.
“A few days before he spoke to Vidya, Dutt had a word with Karisma who at that time had clearly told him that she was not interested in making a comeback,” the source added.
“However, later Karisma changed her mind and signed on Vikram Bhatt’s project ‘Dangerous Ishq’. Dutt, realising that Karisma was now serious about her comeback, approached her again. This time, Karisma showed keen interest in the project and she is expected to inform Dutt about her decision by next week.”
