Producer Vashu Bhagnani's son Jackky was struggling to get a project together ever since F.A.L.T.U became a freak hit. So far, no luck. First the F.A.L.T.U director Remo D'Souza begged off a sequel. More recently, Raj Kumar Santoshi was prepared to direct Jackky in a rom-com. However the paucity of a topnotch heroine who was willing to co-star with Jackky, aborted the Santoshi project.

Now it is the Dhoom director Sanjay Gadhvi whose career have been under a pall of gloom, who has taken at the task of directing Jackky. Gadhvi is ready to make a rom-com with Jackky, where the comedy element can be very high.

Says an in depth friend of Gadhvi, "Sanjay have been checking out his life and career ever since Kidnap bombed and a big production house went legal on him over money matters. Now he's able to direct again. Sanjay empathizes with Jackky. They've both given successes. But are in exile. They're going to prove themselves as a team."

Interestingly, Jackky's character in Gadhvi's film can be so much just like the one played by Uday Chopra in Gadhvi's Dhoom.

Says the friend, "Uday Chopra's Ali is Sanjay's favourite character in Dhoom. He feels Jackky has an awesome sense of humour and great comic timing. Hence of their romcom, comedy can be more accentuated than the romance. Jackky could be cast as a carefree happy-go-lucky and funny as Uday was in Dhoom and in Sanjay Gadhvi's Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai."

As for the crucial question of who plays the leading lady, Gadhvi has decided to launch a brand new face.

Says the friend, "IT IS THE practical and sensible thing to do. In search of an A-lister heroine to co-star with Jackky could be time-consuming and futile. Vashu Bhagnani wants Sanjay to start out his film with Jackky immediately. A BRAND NEW girl may be launched with Jackky."

We asked Sanjay Gadhvi to comment he said, "IT'S NOT THAT I AM allowed to mention anything in this day and age. But yes I'M engaged on a brand new project. As for Dhoom, I've left it behind now. In reality when the Dhoom 3 was announced with Vijay Krishna Acharya as director, I USED TO BE a relieved man. I rang him as much as wish him the entire best. I've other stories to inform".
