The
reports
were
rife
that
Hrithik
Roshan
has
been
very
excited
to
play
the
lead
role
in
filmmaker
Shekhar
Kapur's
ambitious
film
Paani.
Though
it
was
later
said
that
Hrithik
might
not
be
cast
in
the
film,
the
latest
buzz
say
Anushka
Sharma
might
play
the
lead
female
role
in
the
flick.
A
leading
daily
revealed
that
Anushka
Sharma
has
been
finalised
for
Shekhar
Kapur's
Paani
and
Hrithik
will
play
the
male
lead.
Reportedly,
Paani
is
Shekhar
Kapur's
dream
project,
which
revolves
around
a
future
world
where
water
wars
have
broken
out,
and
water
is
owned
by
international
corporations
who
use
thirst
as
a
weapon
of
control.
The
poster
of
the
film
Paani
will
bear
the
message,
"2040
AD,
when
the
well
runs
dry.
We
will
realize
the
worth
of
Paani." A
while
ago,
Hrithik
spoke
extensively
about
Kapur
and
his
project
Paani,
"I
would
just
say
that
working
with
Shekhar
Kapur
is
a
lifelong
dream
of
mine.
Paani
is
a
dream
and
I
hope
it
happens."
"I
am
looking
forward
to
working
with
Mr
Shekhar
Kapur
and
apart
from
work,
just
being
with
that
man,
in
his
presence,
I
feel
comforted," the
actor
added.
