Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor to come together after 12 years?

Will the once-hit duo recreate the same on-screen romance they did almost a decade ago?

It's been 12 years since Bollywood star Hrithik Roshan romanced tinsel town diva Kareena Kapoor on the big screen and rumour has it that the once- hit duo will reunite for director Sanjay Gupta's next, reported India Today. 



The once-upon-a-time popular on-screen pair teamed up for Yaadein (2001), Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham (2001) and Main Prem Ki Deewani Hoon (2003), but since then the duo never worked together. Rumour mill said the two fell in love on the sets of Subhash Ghai's Yaadein but since Hrithik was already married, the two decided to part ways amicably.

However, if things go well, the two will yet again unite for a film. According to Mumbai Mirror, Kareena and Hrithik will reunite for Rakesh Roshan's next home production. The film is a love/revenge drama and is set to be helmed by Sanjay Gupta.

A source close to the actor was quoted by Mumbai Mirror saying, "Yes, the makers have approached Kareena and she liked the script. It is a daringly different and challenging role. She's good friends with Hrithik and keen to pair up with him but has yet to sign on the dotted line. The script of the film is said to be locked only a week ago and reports suggest that it will go on floors in February 2016."

After hearing the story, Rakesh and Hrithik immediately decided to come on board. The film was supposed to go on floors in June since Hrithik had other commitments. But he will now start working on Gupta's film in February," the source added.

Sanjay Gupta later took to Twitter to confirm the news of roping in Hrithik for his next film. However, the director remained tight-lipped about the leading lady of his film:

Ok guys its true that I am working on my next with Hrithik and Rakeshji. But we have not confirmed the lead actress as yet. We will soon :-)

It would be any director's dream come true to get Hrithik and Kareena together for a film. But we have not finalised our heroine yet.

The first schedule of the film is set to be shot in Mumbai and reportedly, the Jodha Akbar star will wrap up the shoot by May.

"Hrithik will be filming his solo sequences first. The leading lady will be locked in next week," the source concluded.



While Hrithik is currently busy shooting for Ashutosh Gowariker's Mohenjo Daro, Kareena has wrapped up the shoot of R Balki's Ki and Ka.
