Sanjay Leela Bhansali has cast Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai again as the lead pair of his next movie, titled Guzaarish.

The pair has earlier tasted success with Bhansali in Jodha Akbar.

The film is scheduled to go on floors by end of 2009.

Reportedly, this film is a remake of Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed hit, The Prestige. It was also speculated whether who would be producing the film along with Sanjay Leela Bhansali. Bhansali’s last film was a co-production with Hollywood giant Sony Picture Company.

Industry sources claim, the Hrithik-Aishwarya starrer is a 50-50 joint venture between Bhansali and UTV. Now incidentally, Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Bachchan’s last film together, Jodhaa Akbar was also a UTV production.

Reports also claim that remaking The Prestige was actually Salman Khan’s idea, and it he who suggested it to Bhansali. And now, it seems Bhansali surreptitiously decided to make the film, casting Hrithik instead of Salman in the lead.

This move has left Salman feeling completely betrayed, and he has vowed never to work with Bhansali again.
