Director Rajkumar Santoshi, who is gearing up for his next film Phata Poster Nikla Hero starring Shahid Kapoor, recently rubbished reports that suggested that the movie is a comedy on the lines of his last movie Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani, which had starred Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif.
In a recent interview, Santoshi, who has made blockbusters like Ghayal, Ghatak and Damini, to name a few, was quoted saying that this new film is not a comedy in the way Ajab Prem Ki Ghazab Kahani was. Though Santoshi admitted that there are elements of humour running through the plot, he added that the overall plot is an intense mother-son story.
Interestingly, actress Padmini Kolhapure, who was last seen in the 2003 Marathi flick Chimani Pakhare, has been roped in to play Shahid's mother. The film reportedly revolves around a young man, who wants to be a film actor despite the disapproval of his mother.
