Now riding high on the success of this year's first genuine hit -- Chalte Chalte -- costarring Rani Mukerji, Shah Rukh is busy shooting for Karan Johar's Kal Ho Na Ho (Saif Ali Khan, Preity Zinta) and Farah Khan's directorial debut, Main Hoon Na (Sushmita Sen, Zayed Khan, Amrita Rao).

Directed by Karan Johar's former assistant Nikhil Advani, Kal Ho Na Ho, starring Shah Rukh Khan, Saif Ali Khan and Jaya Bachchan, is rumoured to be a remake of Hrishikesh Mukherjee's memorable classic Anand.

Earlier, Dia Mirza was signed for the role of Padmashree, but was later replaced by Masumi. Masumi who has dabbled with modelling and the small screen now, makes her debut in Shona Urvashi's Chupke Se
