Himesh
is
all
set
to
do
his
own
Raja
Hindustani.
Remember
Aamir
Khan
as
the
street-smart
ignoramus
who
falls
for
the
sophisticated
Miss
from
the
upper
crust?
Himesh
Reshammiya's
"intense
love
story" to
be
directed
by
John
Mathan
will
be
a
socialistic
plea.
He
would
play
a
guy
from
the
streets
who
falls
for
a
very
rich
girl.
So
did
Himesh
come
to
John
in
a
package
deal
from
the
producers
T
Series?
"Not
at
all,"
says
the
reclusive
director.
"I
chose
Himesh
because
he
suited
the
role
to
perfection.
In
fact,
we
had
a
choice
of
several
production
companies.
But
we
went
to
T
Series.
So
we
were
under
no
pressure
to
sign
Himesh."
The
yet-untitled
film
would
be
John's
first
love
story.
"Of
course
there
were
love
tracks
in
Sarfarosh
and
Shikhar.
But
both
were
basically
about
the
erosion
of
idealism
in
our
society.
The
focus
in
my
new
film
will
be
on
just
the
two
protagonists."
The
film
will
feature
a
completely
new
face
opposite
Himesh.
"We've
auditioned
several
new
faces
and
have
finally
zeroed-
in
on
three
girls.
A
final
decision
will
be
taken
in
a
couple
of
days."
Pausing
to
ponder
John
says,
"I
wonder
how
the
details
of
the
film
were
leaked
out.
I
wanted
it
to
be
under
wraps
until
we
had
finalized
everything.
So,
far
only
Himesh
as
the
leading
man
and
the
music
composer
has
been
decided.
