Johnny
Gaddaar,
Sriram
Raghavan
was
to
direct
John
Abraham
and
Aishwarya
in
a
sci-fi
thriller
titled
Happy
Birthday.
However
with
producer
Gaurang
Doshi
falling
into
legal
hassles,
the
film
seems
to
be
stuck
up.
Raghavan
confirms,
"Yes,
Happy
Birthday
has
been
shelved.
But
I
would
be
continuing
with
the
same
cast
for
a
different
film
in
a
different
banner".
So
finally
John
Abraham
and
Aishwarya
Rai
will
be
sharing
the
screen
for
the
first
time
in
Sriram
Raghavan's
next
venture
and
this
one
will
be
produced
by
Rohan
Sippy
under
the
banner
of
RS
Entertainment.
This
film,
however,
is
a
completely
new
project
and
not
Happy
Birthday
revived.
"It's
a
love
story
with
an
element
of
thrill
in
it",
reveals
Raghavan.
Sriram
was
contemplating
of
having
Amitabh
Bachchan
in
Happy
Birthday.
With
the
Sippys
coming
into
picture,
the
Bachchan
access
only
becomes
easier
for
him.
So
does
he
plan
to
have
Big
B
in
this
project
as
well?
"The
film
is
still
under
scripting
stage.
If
the
script
demands
Mr
Bachchan
to
be
there,
I
will
surely
approach
him",
explains
the
director.
Sriram
Raghavan
is
also
engrossed
with
another
project
on
a
big
scale
titled
Agent
Vinod.
It's
an
action
film
with
Saif
Ali
Khan
in
the
lead
role.
Saif
had
also
acted
in
Sriram
Raghavan's
directorial
debut
Ek
Haseena
Thi.
