Latest word is that Rohit is remaking the Kishore Kumar/Madhubala classic Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, about three brothers who are in business together, with the eldest being a woman-hater in the old comical "wimmin! Caint trust 'em" vein, the youngest being afraid of women and the one in the middle being the romantic lead. SRK would be taking on the role originated by Ashok Kumar; it's not clear which of the younger guys is the romantic lead (Kishore's character), and which is the Anoop Kumar analogue who's afraid of women (or whether they're keeping that angle). The rumors about Alia Bhatt as the female romantic lead (Madhubala's role) don't clear anything up, since her pairings with both Arjun and Varun have been popular. Demographically speaking I think Arjun would be more plausible as the middle of the three, although i don't believe there's much of an age gap between him and Varun. www.telegraphindia.com/1140730/jsp/t2/story_18666034.jsp#.U9253ONdV8FRandom trivia: the three male leads in the original were all brothers in real life as well. You couldn't do that today-maybe the closest you'd come would be by casting Arjun (Boney Kapoor's son) and his cousin Harshvardhan (son of Boney's brother Anil) and their cousin Mohit Marwauh (son of Boney and Anil's sister) as the leads.

You could cast Arjun Kapoor with Ranbir Kapoor & Aarmaan Jain (both great-grandsons of Prithvarij).

Actually, Kishore was the youngest brother (29 years old, the year the film was released), and Anoop was the middle brother (32 the year the film was released). "Dadamoni" Ashok was 47.
Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi is one of my favorite films, so I'm pretty indifferent about it being remade.

The latest round of rumors is that this is a two-hero movie, not an official remake of anything (although Rohit's movies tend to borrow elements from other things he's seen, as with Farah Khan and family), and that Kajol is playing Shahrukh's love interest and Varun is the "junior" hero, with Kriti Sanon as his love interest. The other rumor is that it starts shooting after Fan is finished and Raees is at least partially done, but that it releases on Christmas Day of this year. Rohit is a very efficient filmmaker, so this part may actually be true.
Varun seems to have pretty good comedic chops, and so did Kriti in the approximately two minutes of Heropanti that required her to do anything funny, so they should do fine. It is also nice to see Kajol in, well, anything, and she always plays well with Shahrukh.

SRK and Rohit Shetty join forces once againFeb 10, 2015 - Subhash K. Jha The film is a remake of Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi, will also star Varun Dhawan. After the blockbuster Chennai Express, SRK and Rohit Shetty have joined forces for an unofficial remake of Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. The film which goes on the floors in March, will star Shah Rukh and Varun Dhawan as brothers. A source in the know reveals, “The basic plot is like Satyen Bose’s original Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and has some shades of Mukul Anand’s Hum. Shah Rukh’s role is a mix of Ashok Kumar in Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi and Big B in Hum. Like Ashok Kumar in the original, SRK will also be seen as a misogynist, while Varun will step into Kishore Kumar’s shoes as SRK’s brother. Kriti Sanon (who steps into, ahem, Madhubala’s role) will be playing Varun’s love interest.” Speaking more about the plot, the source continues, “Varun keeps teasing and challenging his brother about his lack of interest in women. Until it’s revealed that Shah Rukh had a woman in his life in the past who deserted him. The experience left him shattered and disillusioned about love. This is where Kajol is supposed to come in.” Apparently Kajol is yet to give her nod to the film, while the rest of the cast is all set. The untitled film is slated for a Christmas release this year. Rest assured there will be ample Rohit Shetty touches to the film. The source adds, “The film’s main plot is like Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi. But the treatment would be like Rohit Shetty’s Golmaal series with many comic actors pitching in.” Shahrukh Khan and Rohit Shetty had recently said that they'll announce the cast in March. Also, in an interview, Rohit said that the movie wouldn't be a remake...

If Kajol doesn't take it, they could ask Juhi, or Madhuri. Tabu and Aishwarya are next in that age group.
Closer to Kajol's age, Kharisma, Raveena, Urmila, Preity, Shilpa, Sushmita, and some others. D

If it's true, as some people are reporting, that Kriti Sanon had to bail on Singh is Bling (supposed to start shooting around Eastertime in early April) because the dates were conflicting with this other film, then I would assume the shoot's concentrated in an April-June window, and the March cast announcements are probably consistent w/ that.
I've seen exactly half of one movie with Madhubala in it, and even from that I can tell hers would be a big pair of shoes to fill.

Rohit Shetty confirmed that the movie wasn't a remake. The cast will be announced in March and filming will begin the same month but SRK will join later on. As for the lead actresses, I do hope Kajol will do it. She has yet to accept the role. If not, there was a rumor that Katrina might have been approached. Aishwarya's platter seems to be full for the year to come between Jazbaa, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, Prahlad Kakkar's next alongside Abhishek.

Oh God, please let it be Kajol. I don't think I could endure another SRK-Katrina jodi.

Katrina and Kriti are kind of similar physical types (tallish, fair-skinned, dark-eyed athletic women with angular faces), so unless the two heroines are supposed to be long lost sisters or something, I don't think the producers would cast both. Alia has also been rumored for the role of Varun's love interest.

The title and the female leads seem to be pretty well locked down, so I have edited accordingly. They are going to be shooting in Goa, partly because Rohit Shetty has done films there before and partly so that Kajol can spend time with her husband (who will be filming the Drishyam remake over there-I guess they wanted to keep the main characters Catholic, as in the original Drishyam).
