With
Bangalore
model
Anushka
Sharma
having
been
finalized
to
play
the
leading
lady
opposite
Shahrukh
Khan
in
Aditya
Chopra's
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi,
the
speculations
about
imaginary
names
like
Simran
etc
must
have
ended.
As
we
have
been
telling
you
repeatedly,
the
film
is
all
set
to
go
on
the
floors
by
the
middle
of
this
month
(May
15/16).
With
the
shooting
of
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
and
SRK's
home
production
Billoo
Barber
to
be
over
by
October-November,
King
Khan
will
move
on
to
his
next
big
project,
the
Karan
Johar
directed,
KHAN/MY
NAME
IS
KHAN.
The
Dharma
productions'
venture
is
to
go
on
the
floors
in
November-December
2008.
Despite
the
fact
that
the
Shibani
Bhatija
scripted
project
is
one
of
the
most
zealously
guarded
secret,
we
have
some
inside
info!
While
it's
known
to
most
that
the
film
takes
a
look
at
Islamic
terrorism
and
the
resultant
discrimination
post
9/11,
the
buzz
is
that
Shahrukh
Khan
plays
a
peace
activist
who
gets
to
see
the
viewpoint
of
the
extremists,
once
he
is
kidnapped
by
them.
Well,
we
must
confess
that
after
SRK's
path
breaking
performance
in
Chak
De!
India,
this
may
well
turn
out
to
be
another
superb
portrayal
from
SRK,
the
actor
and
not
the
global
superstar!
