New on screen couple:Hrithik Roshan, Deepika Padukone

It is not Aamir Khan but Hrithik Roshan who would be romancing Deepika Padukone in Farhan Akhtar’ next. Aamir walked out of the project, owing to some disagreement with regards to remuneration and clauses with the production company, reports Times of India. But now news is that Bollywood heartthrob Hrithik Roshan has been signed in to play the male lead. Now this is a pairing that we’ve definitely been waiting for.

The untitled flick is said to be a time-travel drama, directed by Nitya Mehra who has previously worked as an assistant director in films like ‘Life of Pi’, ‘Don’ and ‘The Namesake’.

The film will reportedly go on floors by February 2015, the time by which Deepika will have wrapped up Karan Johar’s ‘Shuddhi’. Greek God Hrithik had walked out of ‘Shuddhi’ citing date issues.
