Rohit eyes casting coup with Rajni

He has won the box office over repeatedly with his Golmaal series. Now director Rohit Shetty is pulling out the big guns. On one hand, he is planning a film with Shah Rukh Khan and on the other, he is believed to be going all out to get Rajnikanth to do a Hindi film.

If the buzz in B-town is right, Rohit is trying hard to get the southern screen god to Bollywood. If the casting coup works, this will be Rajni's first Hindi film in a long time.

Apparently, Shetty has been meeting people close to Rajnikanth to convince the legend. Though there is no official confirmation from Shetty, rumour is that he might be successful in casting the southie superstar, whose last film Enthiran was reportedly the highest grossing Tamil film.

We also hear that Shah Rukh loved Golmaal 3 so much that he has asked Shetty to be a part of his production firm, Red Chillies.

It is believed King Khan wants Rohit to make a comedy starring the actor.

The hit director is apparently contemplating the offer seriously as he plans to remake an 80s hit comedy with SRK. But it remains to be seen if Shetty partners with SRK, considering the alleged bad vibes between SRK and Ajay Devgn, who has been a fixture in all of Rohit's hits.
