Vikram to launch Aditya Narayan

Himesh Reshammiya has paved the way and other singers are following suit. There're whispers that Vikram Bhatt is keen on launching Udit Narayan's son in his new movie. However, neither Vikram nor Aditya had confirmed the news till now. But Vikram decided to make an official statement when he spoke to this writer.

"Yes, I am launching Aditya Narayan. I haven't titled the film yet, but it's an adventure film, besides being a love story. Actually, it's very difficult to describe the genre of the film. Why Aditya? That's because he comes across as a confident lad, he sings well, he has screen presence. But, most importantly, I always go by instinct," Vikram tells me.

Rumours are rife that Vikram is planning to cast two leading ladies, one of them being Deepika Padukone. "Yes, the film will star two ladies, but Deepika didn't cross my mind. I don't know how this rumour originated in the first place. The fact is Deepika wouldn't like to be associated with a project that stars new faces. After all, she's working with established names. I am on the lookout for two fresh faces," he clarifies. Vikram plans to begin filming next year.
