Filmmaker Shaad Ali has denied having signed or even offer his next film to Ranveer Singh. But sources close to him say the director is very keen to have Ranveer in the film.

Apparently, he liked him in Band, Baaja Baaraat and Ladies Vs Ricky Bahl. Shaad went on a self-imposed sabbatical after his last film, Jhoom Barabar Jhoom tanked miserably at the box office.

He returned to the industry to assist ace director Mani Ratnam in an attempt to regain his magical touch and now seems to be ready to re-launch himself.
