What next? That's the questions which haunts Boney.
Says a source close to the producer, "Boney has not produced a film since
in 2009. True,

with Salman Khan."
Says the source, "Boney is stricken with guilt about the failure to launch his wife and son. Boney's son Arjun Kapoor had made it clear he would be launched by an outside banner before he did his dad's film. But nonetheless Boney feels he owed a launch to his son. As for Sridevi he just couldn't find the right script for her re-launch. Now that
has re-consolidated the Sri magic, Boney is raring to start

and I am definitely doing the remake of
with him. My wife's just had the perfect comeback and I am most certainly doing a film with her. I owe it to her. Then there is
which will start as soon as Salman gives the dates."
The
director Anees Bazmee says he's waiting for Boney's time. "He has been very tied up with the release of
. He has assured me we'll sit down and work out the details of
as soon as he has time."
