After Zoya Akhtar roped in both the actors for her next, now it's apparently Karan Johar's turn to cast them for his upcoming 'High School Musical' style film.
Rumours doing the rounds suggest that K Jo who is presently busy shooting for MY NAME IS KHAN, has already locked on his next film as director. It is learnt that the film will be in the vein of Hollywood hit series High School Musical. Both Imran and Ranbir play their age and it will be a yuppie romantic drama.
Wonder what a 'musical' masterpiece it shall be if Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor join the bandwagon to play roles opposite Ranbir and Imran!

While Aamir has been nominated for ‘Ghajini’, Akshay is in contention for ‘Tashan’ and Hrithik for ‘Jodhaa Akbar’.

In the best actor in a negative role category, the competition is between Imran Khan for ‘Kidnap’, Saif Ali Khan for ‘Race’ and Kay Kay Menon for ‘Drona’.
”Race’ is a thoroughbred action film, complete with flamboyance and panache. I enjoyed performing the stunts and watching the movie evolve into a suave piece of cinema. I am thrilled to be nominated for my role,’ he said.
The results will depend on public voting which is now open. Fans can cast their votes by logging on to www.axnactionawards.com or by texting to 52525.
