Sujoy Ghosh has finally put the cast together
Jaqueline Fernandez
Mumbai: For the Hindi adaptation of the book The Devotion of Suspect X, Sujoy Ghosh has finally put the cast together. After spending a lot of time with Saif Ali Khan discussing the script at length, the two joined forces for this film.
However, the leading lady was not getting finalised for the longest time. Sujoy was in talks with both Deepika Padukone and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan for the role. However, Deepika cited date issues whereas the former Miss World turned it down.
But their loss seems to be Jaqueline Fernandez’s gain. A source tells us that she has now been finalised as the leading lady opposite Saif. The film will be a romantic thriller. The book has already been adapted into Japanese and Korean films respectively. A project in Hollywood is being planned.
Jacqueline and Saif have earlier worked together in Race 2. As for Sujoy, he will be working with Jackie again after Aladin in 2009, in which he had given her a break. Sujoy met her recently and talks have reached the advanced stages. Now we can confirm that Jacqueline has given her nod to the project.
