The "Dangal" director is working on Siddharth Roy Kapur and Ronnie Screwvala's next film, an adaptation of Varun Agarwal's 2012 bestseller "How I Braved Anu Aunty and Started a Million Dollar Company".
When asked about approaching Varun for the film, Nitesh told PTI, "We are thinking about him. But he is busy right now. We were looking for a good, young hero who has a great screen presence."
Nitesh said he did bounce the idea of the film to the "Student of the Year" actor.
Besides this, Nitesh is excited about his director wife Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari's upcoming directorial, "Bareilly Ki Barfi". He has co-written the romantic comedy with Shreyas Jain.
"I think she did a good job. I was moved watching the scenes that I had written, it means it has turned out to be better on screen."
Starring Kriti Sanon, Ayushmann Khurrana and Rajkummar Rao in the lead, "Bareilly Ki Barfi" will release on August 18.
