N Chandra eyes Shahid and Sonam

Director N Chandra has revealed that he plans to approach Shahid Kapoor and Sonam Kapoor to star in his next project.

However, Chandra said that he is concerned the pair may turn down the leading roles in Fire & Ice because of his lack of recent commercial success.

He told Bollywood Hungama: "I thought the doors would re-open for me after Yeh Mera India. But sadly, not too many people saw it.

"There is a belief that I haven't kept up with the times, that I'm a spent force. I may have made Ankush, Pratighaat and Tezaab in the past. But that was then. I don't follow contemporary cinema's language. I made Yeh Mera India in a very contemporary European style."
