Happy New Year shooting to start this December

Filmmaker Farah Khan is still undecided with the actress of her upcoming directorial venture 'Happy New Year', but says she will begin the shooting by December.

'One schedule of 'Happy New Year' will start in December and then in January, we will start again. (But) I don't know who the girl is as off now,' Farah told IANS.

'There are four heroes (in the film). Shah Rukh Khan and Boman (Irani) are finalised and we are looking for the other two heroes (now),' she added.

Reportedly, Farah is interested to cast John Abraham as one of the heroes in the movie, but said: 'Yes, we have such plans but we have not approached anyone so far.'

For the role of leading actress in the movie Parineeti Chopra and Sonakshi Sinha are reportedly being considered. But Farah says nothing is locked yet.

'I meet Sonakshi regularly. She is very beautiful, but we have not taken a call yet. Shah Rukh has just comeback from London, so we really need to sit and work out and figure out who is right for the role.

'It's a very big role and the film has only one girl. We have not met anyone as yet,' she said.

The choreographer-turned-filmmaker is making her debut as an actress with 'Shirin Farhad Ki Toh Nikal Padi', which is to be released this year.
