Asked about truth to the reports making rounds over the casting of Hrithik-Anushka as lead, Farah told IANS last week: “Rohit is producing the film and I am directing it. Unless we come together and make a proper official announcement, everything is speculation. Hopefully, we will make the announcement by Diwali. I am waiting for Rohit, because he is quite occupied these days, finishing the last leg of the shooting of his film ‘Sooryavanshi’. Let people continue guessing and the reports run. I would still say those are all speculation.”
“Just wait for little more, we will soon announce everything,” added the “Main Hoon Naa” director.
