Farhan Akhtar and Disha Patani to star together in Ashutosh Gowariker’s next?

Ashutosh Gowariker's period drama 'Mohenjo Daro' starring Hrithik Roshan and Pooja Hegde failed to perform at the Box Office. Moving on from the 'Mohenjo Daro' debacle, the filmmaker doesn't plan to do a period drama next. Instead Ashutosh next starring Farhan Akhtar is not a period film but a thriller.

A source close to a leading daily reveals, "Ashutosh’s next film is a thriller about a newlywed couple. It’s a performance-driven film. The makers have zeroed in on a title already. They plan to call it Honeymoon. The film is slated to go on floors soon, sans the film’s leading lady, if need be."

Apparently, the filmmaker has approached Disha Patani to play the lead opposite Farhan. "He loved her in 'MS Dhoni' and feels she has an amazing screen presence. Talks are on at an advanced stage with the actress for the film. Ashu and his team met Disha and her team and discussed the project recently. The actress has liked the script, but the modalities are being worked out," adds the source.

The source further suggests that Disha might not sign on the film and reasons, "Disha has caught the fancy of several banners, but she is opting out of most big projects as she is waiting for Dharma’s 'Student Of The Year 2', which she thinks will happen soon. She has definitely spoken to Ashu, but not signed the film yet."
