Is Ranbir Kapoor eyeing on Zoya Akhtar’s next project?

We all know that Ranbir Kapoor is not going through a great phase in his career. But he has a couple of interesting films like ‘Ae Dil Hai Mushkil’ and much delayed flick ‘Jagga Jasoos’ in his kitty. However, it is said that the actor is eyeing on starring in one of Zoya Akhtar’s upcoming projects, but there is no confirmation if he wants to star in ‘Gully Boy’ or some other film.

A source said, “Contrary to earlier reports, she hadn’t discussed the film with him until recently. The so called meeting at her Bandra home a few months ago was merely a private bash where Ranbir was a guest.”

Earlier there were reports that Ranbir was offered ‘Gully Boy’ alongside Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt, but he was not keen on playing a subordinate role to Ranveer who might be seen as a rapper in the movie. Ranbir had also turned down Zoya’s films like ‘Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara’ and ‘Dil Dhadakne Do’.

“He is eager to work with Zoya since the two films that he had declined, received an overwhelming audience response. His last outing, ‘Tamasha’, didn’t do well at the box office. So, he is now looking at fresh collaborations to get that elusive hit under his belt. Zoya, however, is yet to take a call on the casting. It will be interesting to see if Zoya goes ahead with Ranbir despite past experiences with him,” the source said.
