After Cheeni Kam you would have expected another enterprising filmmaker to bring the glorious Bachchan-Tabu pair together.

And so it was, when Shoojit Sircar of Yahaan fame decided to make a film about a 50-plus couple who discover togetherness and love.

Interestingly the script written by Renzel d'Silva of Rang De Basanti fame, is inspired by a concept from a Hollywood film.

"That Hollywood film is yet to be made. But my producers UTV decided to acquire proper copyrights anyway. When we told Mr Bachchan about the subject he too approved of getting the proper right from Bollywood.

We don't believe in doing things underhand," informs Sircar as he prepares to start shooting his yet untitled film by the end of January.

Only one hitch. Where's the leading lady?

"We're looking at a few names. Apart from Mr Bachchan, we've Diya Mirza in a key role. As for the leading lady we need to take a call right away," says Sircar.

Though he refuses to speak about it the fact of the matter is that after Tabu exeunted from the script, several names were being considered.

Apparenty UTV have zeroed in on Shefali Shah and Sareeka as the two strongest contenders for the coveted part opposite the Big B.

Interestingly this isn't the only UTV film on the anvil about a 50-plus couple re-discovering love.

Mithun Chakraborty and Dimple Kapadia play one more such couple in UTV's Phir Kabhi.
