Director Shree Narayan Singh is currently busy finishing the details on his film which stars Shahid Kapoor. The film will go on the floors shortly. However, he has already announced his next film titled, 'Jasmine'. Not only will he be directing the film, he will also co-produce the project with Prernaa Arora. Talking about the project he said, “'Jasmine' is the journey of a girl from her youth to motherhood, of eternal love between a mother and a child. I have always wanted to work on a woman-centric film and I’m able to do so now.”

Reportedly, the team is keen on casting Anushka Sharma in the lead role, as a surrogate mother. A source in the know said, “Anushka is on the producers’ mind. The actress is known to take up such hard-hitting subjects and although the narration is yet to happen, the makers will soon pitch it to her.”

When Shree was quizzed about his preference for Anushka, he said, “I haven’t even met Anushka or spoken to her. I have just announced my film. First thing I need to do is to lock a director for the project. The casting will be decided later.’’ Well, looks like we'll have to wait a little longer to find out. Stay tuned for more updates.
