Amrita Rao, who has been lying low since the debacles of Short Kut — The Con Is On that saw her undergoing a startling metamorphosis, Life Partner and Jaane Kahaan Se Aayi Hai that had her putting in cameo appearances, is back in the news. She has signed a three-movie deal with Rajshri Productions.

The first of the films toplines Tushar Kapoor and will be directed by newcomer director S Manasvi. The film rolls in a few months. One of Rao’s close friends confirms the news. Rao’s film with Kapoor is yet to be titled. It’s a young love story in the traditional Rajshri style.

“But it’s a contemporary subject set in Mumbai and won’t have too many actors from Barjatyas’ previous films. So, chances of Rajshri regulars such as Alok Nath, Reema Lagoo and Rajiv Verma putting in appearances are slim,” says our source.

It’s also believed that marriage, which has been the focus of the last three Barjatya films — Hum Aapke Hai Koun, Hum Saath Saath Hain and Vivah — doesn’t figure in the Kapoor-Rao love story. The director is an FTII graduate who has worked with Rajshri Productions for over a year-and-a-half and has also written the story.
