Farah Khan: Casting ouch

Farah Khan denies having signed Priyanka Chopra to play the lead in her new film Happy New Year. "The media seems to know more about my film then I do. The only actor confirmed for my film is Shahrukh Khan. The film will also be produced by him. That's it! I'm still writing the script. I have not yet decided on the cast of my film." Farah also denied rumors that Happy New Year was an out and out comedy film. "Happy New Year is a commercial film. It has its doses laughter, tears and thrills. I don't know what made journalists come to the conclusion that it is a comedy," she said.
