Shah Rukh and Arjun Kapoor to play brothers in Rohit Shetty's next

New Delhi: The news of Rohit Shetty's remake of the classic 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi' will have Shah Rukh Khan is stale.

Now as per latest reports Arjun Kapoor may essay Kishore Kumar's role in the film. This could be something that Arjun Kapoor should be beaming about this time. If sources are to be believed, Arjun will be playing Kishore Kumar's role in the  remake of the classic comedy, 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi', which starred all the three Ganguly brothers  Ashok, Kishore and Anup Kumar.

The project, an official remake of 'Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi' (1958), is helmed by Rohit Shetty. SRK is said to have agreed to play the eldest brother Ashok Kumar's character in the film.

According to a source, "The original script had three brothers and we are sticking to the concept. However, it is not finalised if Arjun will be playing Kishore or Anup Kumar's role."

The older version had Ashok Kumar and his two real-life brothers Kishore Kumar and Anoop Kumar in the male lead roles and Bollywood diva Madhubala in female lead role.

It is also speculated that the "Highway" actress Alia Bhatt could be roped to reprise Madhubala's role in the remake of classic film.

However, nothing has been officially announced either by the actors of the director Shetty.

 "The team is also working on the script. Right now, they can't reveal much about the film," adds a source.

Last time when Shah Rukh and Rohit worked together in Chennai Express, it was a massive hit.
