Ranveer Singh To Play Kareena's Brother in Zoya Akhtar's Upcoming Movie

Casting for any multi-starrer project turns into a veritable game of musical chairs. And Zoya Akhtar's ambitious next is no different.



The film, which reportedly has Hrithik Roshan, Katrina Kaif and Kareena Kapoor on board, is being keenly followed because of the possibility of Ranbir Kapoor and Kareena Kapoor Khan being cast as siblings for the first time on screen. Their track is apparently based on the lives of siblings Farhan Akhtar and Zoya.

Now that Ranbir Kapoor is no longer a part of the project, and Zoya is not willing to wait for him to be free of his commitments, the focus has shifted to Ranveer Singh.

According to a source close to the developments, Ranveer has been sounded out for the film and the actor is keen to grab the opportunity.

"Ranveer missed out on working with Kareena in Ram Leela. This time, he wants to make it work. Even if it means he does not get to play the romantic lead," said the source.

Zoya has, so far, refrained from confirming any of the reports about her film.
