Sushant Singh Rajput for Rock On's director's next

The wait is finally over! The man behind the National Award winning cult movie Rock on!, writer and director Abhishek Kapoor, is back with his next

The wait is finally over! The man behind the National Award winning cult movie Rock on!, writer and director Abhishek Kapoor, is back with his next - an adaptation of author Chetan Bhagat's bestseller novel, The 3 Mistakes Of My Life.

Abhishek or Gattu, as he is fondly called, had announced the project with a lot of gusto almost two years back under the banner of Excel Entertainment, the makers of Rock On. In fact, Farhan Akhtar was said to be essaying one of the three lead roles. However, Excel Entertainment failed to flag off the project on time, and after a long wait, Abhishek recently sealed the deal to make the earlier tentatively titled film Ahmedabad, with UTV Motion Pictures, and with rank newcomers!

The film goes on floors in Ahmedabad next month and will have an edgy, realistic and offbeat treatment. Abhishek has rewritten the story and the screenplay, and newcomers have been said to be cast as a requirement of the story. Another interesting fact is that Chetan Bhagat, the author of the book and the director's good friend, will be helming the rank of the Assistant Director of the project. .

If the above information hasn't exactly got you raving about the project as yet, the next piece of news might help!

Buzz has it that small screen's heartthrob, Sushant Singh Rajput, best known for his portrayal of the reticent and shy Manav in Zee TV's TRP topper, Pavitra Rishta, and his million dollar dance moves in Sony TV's dance reality show Jhalak Dikhlaa Jaa, has been signed on as one of the leads of the movie. Do we hear Sushant fans giving a whoop of delight?

Big names and huge expectations - can Abhishek Kapoor's next match up to the success of his previous hit? What say you, fans?
