If sources are to be believed then our handsome light-eyed star Hrithik Roshan will be playing the lead in Shekhar Kapur’s much delayed project ‘Paani’.

To be produced by B-town’s premium production banner Yash Raj Films, ‘Paani’ is expected to go on floors by mid 2013. The film’s script in fact was said to have been written by the filmmaker Shekhar Kapur nearly fifteen years back. However things didn’t materialise owing to various reasons.

The ambitious and mega-budgeted project of Kapur reported to have a blend of Indian and international actors and will have music composed by AR Rahman.

The film is based in a future world where wars over water have broken out.

Water is now owned by International Corporations who use thirst as a weapon of control. In one such future city, a young love story breaks all the rules and in the ensuing war, water flows back to its people.
