Hrithik to Star in Shekhar Kapur's 'Paani'

Shekhar Kapur has finally handpicked Hrithik Roshan to play lead in his most ambitious project till date 'Paani.' Apparently, the actor has been talking about bagging the project, which was first announced 12 years ago, quite openly at the ongoing Marrakech Film Festival in Morocco.

The film that will apparently have a budget of $ 30 million is said to star an Indian actor and an overseas heroine.

The film was first announced with Vivek Oberoi in the lead that essays a time when the world has gone to war over the scarcity of drinking water. It tells the story of a financially poor man, who stealthily visits the elite parts of the city where he comes across a beautiful woman and they fall in love.
