"Ghanchakkar" is a comedy film where Balan would be once again be seen sharing screen space with Emraan Hashmi after their successful pairing in "The Dirty Picture".

About her chemistry with Emraan, she said, "I think 'Raaz 3 (secret) of our chemistry is that we may have said three words to each other in 'The Dirty Picture', but in this one we have said six words. So, it should probably double the chemistry between us."

"Ghanchakkar" is said to be a sequel of 2006 hit "Pyaar Ke Side Effects". The actress had previously worked with Gupta in "No One Killed Jessica".

According to earlier reports, Gupta hopes to wrap up the film's shooting by December and is looking for a release early 2013.

Apart from Balan and Hashmi, director Gupta is seeking fresh faces especially with a theatre background.

"We are looking at new faces from theatre and from other sources. We've auditioned dozens. With Vidya and Emraan in the cast, I need untried talent to balance off their huge stardom. Besides Emraan and Vidya, there are two major characters, both male, plus dozens of supporting parts," he said according to The Times of India.
