Saif Ali Khan to star in 'zomcom'?

Saif Ali Khan is reportedly considering the lead role in what could be Bollywood's first romantic zombie comedy.

The Kurbaan star could play the central role of the zombie in the film, titled Go Goa Gone, according to the Mumbai Mirror.

"Saif loved the idea in the first few minutes of hearing the concept and wanted to do it immediately," a source told the paper.

They added: "It is a horror comedy, a mix of two unlikely genres."

Kunal Khemmu, who is dating Khan's younger sister Sonam, will play an "integral" role in the film.

Shor in the City's directing duo Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK are making the project their follow-up to the surprise horror hit, produced by Ekta Kapoor.

It was rumoured this week that Khan could take over from Akshay Kumar as the host of the Indian version of MasterChef.
