MUMBAI: Vishal Bhardwaj has decided to film an adaptation of William Shakespeare‘s Hamlet.

To make a perfect casting, Bharadwaj wants Hrithik Roshan and Aishwarya Rai in the adaptation. If all goes according to plans, Roshan will play the Prince Of Denmark while Rai Bachchan would play his Ophelia.

Like the earlier adaptations, Hamlet too would be very dissimilar to the original.
Hamlet would be Vishal‘s third Shakespearean adaptation after Maqbool that was an adaptation of Shakespeare‘s Macbeth and Omkara that was Bharadwaj‘s take on the Bard‘s Othello. The director had always maintained that he would do three Shakespearean adaptations in his career.

It may be recalled that in the past too, Bharadwaj had approached both Roshan and Rai Bachchan but things couldn‘t fall in place.

Previously Hrithik-Aishwarya have worked together in Dhoom 2 (2006), Jodhaa Akbar (2008) and the latest Sanjay Leela Bhansali film Guzaarish.
