Off
late,
a
certain
section
of
the
media
in
New
Delhi
has
been
buzzing
with
wild
rumours
that
Anant
Narayan
is
all
set
to
make
his
silver
screen
debut
with
Aditya
Chopra's
much-talked
about
directorial
next
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
that
is
slated
for
a
Dec
12th
release
later
this
year.
It
is
also
being
speculated
that
the
illustrious
filmmaker
will
launch
two
newcomers
in
his
Shahrukh
Khan
magnum
opus.
While
Aditya
Chopra
has
officially
announced
that
19-year
old
model
from
Bangalore
Anushka
Sharma
will
star
opposite
superstar
Shahrukh
Khan
in
this
interesting
love
saga,
the
rumours
doing
the
rounds
suggested
otherwise.
The
grapevine
suggests
that
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
is
actually
not
a
pure
and
simple
love
story
but
a
love
triangle
in
which
Anant
essays
the
part
of
the
third
lead
and
Anushka's
love
interest
in
the
film.
Inundated
with
calls
and
messages
since
the
last
few
days,
Anant
has
been
battling
some
rather
inane
queries
from
random
people.
"My
phone
hasn't
stopped
ringing
for
the
past
few
days.
I've
been
receiving
calls
from
all
kinds
of
people
congratulating
me
on
my
big
break
with
the
Yash
Raj
banner.
My
inbox
has
been
flooded
with
some
messages
congratulating
me
on
my
'dream
role'
in
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi,
while
some
requesting
me
to
send
my
pictures
across.
One
even
demanded
my
autograph!
It
has
all
been
pretty
bizarre!" says
the
21-year
old
celebrity
journalist.
And
that's
not
all.
"There
are
all
kinds
of
other
rumours
doing
the
rounds
too.
I
allegedly
met
up
with
Mr.
Aditya
Chopra
and
pleaded
him
to
give
me
a
break
in
his
film.
He
then
took
my
screen
test
following
which
I
was
finalized
for
his
film.
I
find
it
all
extremely
amusing
because
the
truth
is
that
I'm
not
starring
in
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi.
I
haven't
even
met
or
spoken
to
Aditya
Chopra;
forget
about
approaching
him
to
give
me
a
break.
There
is
no
doubt
that
I
have
received
some
interesting
film
offers,
but
I
haven't
said
yes
to
any
as
yet.
And
even
if
I
have,
I'm
not
allowed
to
talk
about
them
at
this
point",
Anant
sets
the
record
straight.
