'Kai Po Che!' Fame Sushant Singh Rajput to Star in Karan Johar’s Next?

"Kai Po Che!" star Sushant Singh Rajput is on cloud nine. After the success of his debut film, Sushant has reportedly bagged a big role in Karan Johar's next project.

"Kai Po Che!" directed by Abhishek Kapoor also features Amit Sadh and Raj Kumar Yadav in lead roles.

The 27-year-old actor started his acting career with a daily soap, "Pavitra Rishta". Prior to his venture on the big screen, he became a hugely successful television actor with "Pavitra Rishta".

The actor has apparently inked a deal with one of the most sought after directors in Bollywood - Karan Johar.

"He seems to be doing very well right now. He has inked a deal with Karan Johar's production house. When the paperwork is done, Sushant and the production house will make their announcement," a source told Mid-Day.

But the report has been denied by Karan Johar's spokesperson who said, "Not true. Karan has not signed Sushant for any film."

Put aside reports of signing a deal with Karan, Sushant is working on two big screen projects. He has been confirmed for a role in Rajkumar Hirani's "Peekay" starring Aamir Khan and Anushka Sharma . Also, he would be paired opposite Parineeti Chopra in a Yash Raj Films' project that will be directed by Maneesh Sharma.
