In February, mid-day reported that producer Sajid Nadiadwala is readying to launch his son Subhan Nadiadwala’s acting career (Beta, chalo Bollywood, Feb 28). Now, the chatter in the industry is that the star kid’s debut film may borrow its title from Deewana’s (1992) hit track. It has been heard that the movie has been tentatively titled Aisi Deewangi Dekhi Nahin Kahin, after the popular song that featured Shah Rukh Khan and late Divya Bharti.

It could be a beautiful nod to both — Khan, who came into the limelight with the film, and the late actor, who was married to Sajid. The movie, to be helmed by Shashank Khaitan of Humpty Sharma Ki Dulhania (2014) fame, is expected to roll in November.

A crew member reveals, “The film is an intense love story. Aisi Deewangi Dekhi Nahin Kahin is the tentative name with which we refer to the project; it’s not set in stone. The title is from the hit song of Deewana that kickstarted Shah Rukh’s career.”
