After
months
of
speculation
on
who
will
be
playing
the
lead
role
in
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra's
next
big
production
Ferrari
Ki
Sawaari,
the
verdict
is
now
finally
out
and
its
none
other
than
Sharman
Joshi
who
has
bagged
the
coveted
lead
role.
Sharman,
it
may
be
recalled,
played
an
important
part
in
Vidhu's
last
production
3
Idiots
which
went
on
to
become
an
all-time
blockbuster.
Industry
buzz
is
that
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra
has
taken
a
bold
decision
by
going
ahead
with
Sharman
for
the
lead
role
but
the
maverick
filmmaker
believes
he
has
made
the
right
choice.
Says
Vidhu
Vinod
Chopra,
"We
have
seen
the
screen
test
of
Sharman
Joshi,
and
strongly
feel
that
he
has
understood
the
character
and
done
a
brilliant
job
in
the
screen
test."
Ferrari
Ki
Sawaari
is
certainly
a
big
solo
project
for
Sharman
Joshi
who
has
until
now
mainly
made
a
mark
only
in
multi-starrers.
The
film,
which
goes
on
floors
in
February
2011,
is
being
directed
by
debutant
director
Rajesh
Mapuskar
(who
has
assisted
the
likes
of
Raju
Hirani).
