Sharman Joshi, who was last seen in Vidhu Vinod Chopra's film 'Ferrari Ki Sawari', is gearing up for his next project, which also features Bollywood diva Rekha. The actress will play Sharman's grandmother in the movie.

The film, produced and directed by Indra Kumar, is slated to go on the floors in early January. It will be shot in Mumbai and Dubai. The story, a social drama laced with comic elements, revolves around the relationship between Rekha and Sharman. Informs a source, "The actor plays a US-returned guy, who is extremely fond of his naani (Rekha). He stands up for her when she is ill-treated by the family. Randhir Kapoor plays Sharman's grandfather."

We hear Sharman is quite excited about the prospect of working with two veterans — Rekha and Randhir. "I'm looking forward to working with her. She is extremely versatile and one of the finest actresses of Indian cinema," reacted Sharman when we met him in Lucknow on his recent visit, adding, " She is playing my grand mother in the movie and the story revolves around the relationship we both share."

And while talking of relationships, we asked him what his equation with his fatherin-law, the legendary Prem Chopra is like. To which he replied, "Well I share a very friendly relation with him. It is always an honour and a privilege to be with him. He has an absolute shining personality, the way he conducts himself both off and on screen is very inspiring. I don't get to meet him often but there is enough to learn from his experience in the film industry."
