Yash Raj Films (YRF) has joined hands with Shekhar Kapur to produce his ambitious project Paani. Talking about his association with YRF, Kapur said, "I have been preparing for this film for a long time, but always wanted an Indian partner that has the same passion for the film as I do. I have finally found one in Adi (Aditya Chopra). It’s a huge production that demands futuristic sets and large action pieces. In Yash Raj Films, I have found a perfect home for <em>Paani.</em>"

All these days, we have been hearing of a sequel of Mr India.

It is also reported that Salman Khan would be a part of the project. According to sources, the <em>Dabangg</em> star will be seen in his first negative role in the film.

After getting worldwide acclaim for The Slumdog Millionaire, director Danny Boyle has decided to turn producer for Shekhar Kapur’s ambitious project <em>Paani</em> starring Hrithik Roshan, Though the project was formally announced at the 63rd Cannes International Film Festival in 2010, but Kapur has now confirmed that he will start shooting his ambitious film in April next year (2013). “Right now, I am doing the organisation-related work before I start actual filming in April next year,” said Kapur in confirmation.
