The movie will be co-produced by the Morani brothers.

The flick will be directed by successful radio and television host Roshan Abbas, reports desibollywood.in.

Always Kabhi Kabhi will be based on a play Roshan Abbas had written and directed in 1999.

The movie explores life in high school and the joys and angst youngsters go through in their most sensitive years.

The cast of Always Kabhi Kabhi has not been completely firmed up but Abbas has said that the movie will star Karim Morani’s daughter Zoa, Archan Puran Singh, Satish Shah and so on.

Zoa Morani, who was the assistant director of Om Shanti Om, will debut with Always Kabhi Kabhi.

Always Kabhi Kabhi will go on the floors in November 2009, and will be released sometime in 2010.

Shahrukh Khan’s last production was the 2009 Billu and Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, both of which were reasonably successful but did not set the box office on fire.

Sharukh Khan will be next seen in My Name is Khan, produced and directed by Karan Johar, and co-starring Kajol. My Name is Khan will be released in December 2009.

John Abraham will star in Anurag Kashyap's Bombay Velvet

Now, reports say that John Abraham too will come onboard. But, the funny thing is that long back John Abraham had announced that he is part of Bombay Velvet along with Naseeruddin Shah and Kay Kay Menon. We had carried the report in March 2009.

Old hat, this.

In fact, I would take the news that Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan are part of Bombay Velvet with a huge pinch of salt, until the news in confirmed by Anurag Kashyap, Aamir Khan or Shahrukh Khan themselves.

Though, long back Anurag Kashyap has said in an interview that he wanted Aamir Khan to be part of Bombay Velvet.

Bombay Velvet is set in the 1960s and revolves around the crime scene in Mumbai then. Anurag Kashyap was quoted as saying that Bombay Velvet will be like the LA Confidential of India.

LA Confidential is a fantastic flick. It would be interesting to see if Kashyap can pull off a thriller on the same level.

Bombay Velvet, reportedly, will have three segments, with John Abraham, Aamir Khan, and Shahrukh, featured in each of them.

Anurag Kashap had said in an interview that he brought two writers on board, for Bombay Velvet, who criticised him most for No Smoking.

If Aamir Khan and Shahrukh Khan are indeed part of Bombay Velvet, then they probably have cameo roles in the movie.

It’s not clear what Danny Boyle’s role is in this production, but some reports say that Boyle will present the movie to further its chances in the international market.
