Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is keen to rope in Neha Dhupia to play the lead opposite Akshay Kumar in his forthcoming film, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi. Neha, who seems interested in Nadiadwala's offer, will debut in Harry Baweja's Qayamat (Ajay Devgan, Suniel Shetty, Sanjay Kapoor, Chunkey Pandey, Arbaaz Khan, Isha Koppikar, Riya Sen) that releases July 11.

Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, which also stars Salman Khan, will be directed by David Dhawan under the Nadiadwala Grandsons banner. The shooting for this Anees Bazmee (Aankhen, Shola Aur Shabnam, Bol Radha Bol) scripted comedy will begin in July.

Shahid-Ken reunite

After the success of Ken Ghosh's Ishq Vishk (Shahid Kapoor, Amrita Rao, Shenaz Treasurywala), Ghosh and Kapoor have been roped in for another movie by producers Tips Films.

Shahid has also been signed by the Shah brothers of Time Magnetics -- Dhirubhai, Pravin and Hasmukh -- in a yet-untitled film for which the director is yet to be decided. Shahid confirms, "I am excited about my films. I am itching to get back into action."
