Filmmaker Sanjay Gupta is all set to work with one of his favorite stars once again.

He has signed the super talented Anupam Kher in his upcoming magnum opus film 'Jazbaa' starring Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Irrfan Khan in lead roles.

Sanjay is excited to work with Anupam with whom he worked 19 years back.

"It's a role only Anupam can play. I had worked with him 19 years ago in the second film of my career Ram Shastra. After that there was no solid opportunity to direct him. So I am really looking forward to working with him again. Incidentally, we had launched Anupam's son Sikandar as a leading man in Woodstock Villa," said Sanjay.

The film has been in news for the longest time for it's grand star cast. First it garnered headlines for being Aishwarya's comeback film and later the news of Irrfan Khan joining the film as male lead made it grandeur.

There are also reports that John Abraham will have a guest appearance in the same.
