Now
that
Rajkumar
Hirani's
next
in
the
Munnabhai
series,
Munnabhai
Chale
Amerika
has
got
delayed
due
to
Sanjay
Dutt's
legal
hassles,
Hirani
is
now
concentrating
on
his
next
project,
based
on
the
Indian
education
system.
This
is
quite
well
known,
and
also
known
to
one
and
all
is
that
Shahrukh
Khan,
Hirani's
first
choice
for
the
lead
actor,
turned
down
the
project
due
to
differences
with
the
producer,
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra.
There
were
talks
of
Rajkumar
Hirani
having
approached
Hrithik
Roshan
and
Ranbir
Kapoor
but
none
of
them
seem
to
have
been
finalized.
The
latest
hero
to
have
been
approached
to
step
into
Shahrukh
Khan's
shoes
is
Aamir
Khan.
The
super
actor
has
evinced
a
keen
interest
in
working
with
the
maverick
filmmaker,
but
as
always
demanded
a
bound
script
which
Hirani
has
been
unable
to
provide,
as
he
is
still
working
on
the
subject.
And
so
despite
all
the
rumours
of
Aamir
Khan
(and
also
Kajol)
being
finalized
as
the
lead
pair
of
the
project,
uncertainty
still
prevails.
The
fact
of
the
matter
is
that
it
is
still
uncertain
who
Hirani's
next
hero/lead
pair
will
be
at
this
point
of
time.
