Off late, a certain section of the media in New Delhi has been buzzing with wild rumours that Anant Narayan is all set to make his silver screen debut in Aditya Chopra's much talked about directorial next Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi that is slated for a December 12 release. It is also being speculated that Aditya is launching not one but two newcomers in his Shah Rukh Khan magnum opus.
While Aditya has officially announced that 19 year old Bangalore model, Anushka Sharma will star opposite Shah Rukh, in the love saga, the rumours doing the rounds suggest otherwise. The grapevine suggests that Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is actually not a simple love story but a love triangle in which Anant essays the part of the third lead, and Anushka's love interest in the film. Inundated with calls and messages in the last few days, Anant has been battling some rather inane queries from random people. It has all been pretty bizarre! And that's not all. "There are all kinds of other rumours doing the rounds too. I allegedly met up with Mr Aditya Chopra and pleaded him to give me a break in his film. He then took my screen test following which I was finalized for his film. I find it all extremely amusing because the truth is that I'm not starring in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. I haven't even met or spoken to Aditya Chopra, forget about approaching him to give me a break. There is no doubt that I have received some interesting film offers, but I haven't said yes to any as yet. And even if I have, I'm not allowed to talk about them at this point," Anant sets the record straight.
