Rajkumar
Santoshi
is
all
set
to
start
his
epic
on
Emperor
Ashoka
in
January
2008
with
Ajay
Devgan
and
Bipasha
in
the
lead.
Plans
to
begin
an
intense
love
story
in
November
with
Shahid
Kapoor
and
Katrina
Kaif
have
fallen
through.
The
director
currently
putting
finishing
touches
to
his
film
about
the
individual
and
his
conscience,
Halla
Bol,
which
opens
on
December
21,
reveals
the
details.
"We
were
all
set
to
start
the
film.
But
then
we
saw
some
striking
similarities
between
what
we
had
in
mind
and
Jab
We
Met.
Doing
two
similar
films
with
the
same
actor
in
the
lead
didn't
make
any
sense.
So
now
we're
re-working
the
script
and
will
surely
come
up
with
something
soon.
I
really
want
to
work
with
Shahid
and
Katrina."
As
for
his
other
film,
the
musical
London
Dreams,
"Some
differences
cropped
up
between
me
and
the
producers.
Also
there
was
a
lot
of
confusion
over
Salman's
dates.
So
I
really
don"t
know
where
that
project
stands.
Yes,
I
do
have
a
reputation
for
initiating
several
projects
out
of
which
some
don't
work
out.
But
during
the
last
1
'
years
you
must've
noticed
I've
been
focusing
only
on
Halla
Bol.
I
never
go
on
the
floors
until
I"m
absolutely
sure.
