Following her bother Farhan Akhtar, little sister Zoya Akhtar a daughter of Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani is all set to make her debut this year. She has decided to put Luck By Chance on the backburner and scripted a new film with Hrithik Roshan in the lead. Zoya wanted Saif Ali Khan for the lead role, who backed out last year. Big brother Farhan and his friend Ritesh Sidhwani will produce this untitled film.
Talking about Luck By Chance she said, “I am not making it. I am definitely going to pull it out at some point. But not right now. I have written another script, which I am now going to make with Hrithik Roshan in the lead. Since the film gets going only in October 2006 I have a lot of time to prep it up.”
Zoya wanted to turn director last year with Luck By Chance, a script that took a satirical swipe at the quirks and aberrations of the film industry.
