Rani and Ben Afflect???? what????

MUMBAI: Rani Mukherjee might soon be seen with Ben Affleck in a new film. Or will her co-star be Ethan Hawke?

The movie in question is "Bombay California", a love story by avant-garde director Dev Benegal, who shot to fame with the brilliant "Split Wide Open".

After making a well-received documentary on Shabana Azmi, Benegal is back at a feature. It's a romantic comedy in English with three characters - a man, a woman and an Ambassador car.

It'll feature Rani with either Ben Affleck or Ethan Hawke. Both the Hollywood pinup idols have apparently consented, but Affleck is more likely to be Rani's co-star.

"J Lo had better watch out!" laughs Benegal referring to the singer who is the real life love interest of Affleck.
