John and Vidya together again!

For the uninitiated, the duo was previously cast together as a sizzling on screen couple for multi-starrer Salaam-e-Ishq.  However, the 2007 release was accompanied by talks of the two having a real life affair, and they haven't worked together since.  With changed statuses - aka John being single - and Gupta's resolve to beg, borrow, steal or threaten and get Vidya on board - who knows?

The script has already been related to the actress who has just wrapped up shoots for The Dirty Picture by Milan Luthria and is currently in the middle of Sujoy Ghosh's Kahani.

If all goes to plan then Vidya will step into the role of Manya Surve's  girlfriend who happens to be a widow with two children.

The other name already linked with this project is Anil Kapoor, and shooting is slated to start later in December this year.
