Says a source close to the development, "It's a beautiful story of an adolescent girl who aspires to become a singer. The casting is currently on. They are looking for a new face, a girl who knows how to sing, because the film will require her to be comfortable in front of the mic." The source adds that Advait has been relieved of all his responsibilities so he can concentrate on his film: "Aamir has now got himself a new manager by the name of Shamath." Earlier, in an interview to Mirror (March 4), when quizzed on whether he is producing any other film besides Dangal, Aamir had said, "We've liked one other script by a young director."
