We have seen films like ‘Ishaqzaade’ and ‘Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela’, which were based on Shakespeare’s play, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and now producer Ekta Kapoor and director Danish Aslam are getting the same story but with a gay twist in it. 

A source close to the production house revealed, "The script has been written by Anu Menon who last directed the Ali Zafar-Aditi Rao Hydari starrer ‘London, Paris, New York’. Danish took an instant liking to her quirky concept and was ready to bring it on screen. The film is likely to go on the floors in May." 

"Danish has had several meetings with the head honchos at Balaji Motion Pictures who have green-lighted the project," added the source. 

If the sources are to be believed the film may star newcomers. 

"The casting will be locked only at the end of March," he reveals. "The story revolves around two guys from warring families and a girl. One of the guys is a closet homosexual. That makes the film daringly different." 

When contacted Danish, he said, "Right now, I'm not authorized to talk about the project. Please call Balaji for details." 

However, on asking him again and again he said, "It's my film, but they are the producers so it's better that they make an official announcement." 

Well, let’s see whether people will accept a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ with a gay twist.
