This is strange, albeit in a pleasant way. Remember how film actor Shaan used to talk about Indian films? You don’t? Then it’s fine. News is that an Indian filmmaker who now lives in London has contacted Shaan to star in one of his films to be shot in the Indian city of Hyderabad.

Apparently the director wants Bollywood starlet Anushka Sharma to work opposite the Pakistani actor and is in talks with her. If that happens … well, let’s not make any predictions, and just let it happen first.
