Kapoor & Sons was quite the treat for fans of Fawad Khan, but that legion seems to be quite insatiable. They're already looking forward to the actor's next Bolly flick.

Rumour has it that Fawad has snapped up his next major role - it's a Karan Johar production, and it will star Deepika Padukone too. Talk about a dream cast!

While Karan Johar has openly said that he will soon work with Deepika during one of his weekly Koffee with Karan chats, the hope that Fawad Khan will be cast in the same film is buoyed by KJo's effuse praise for the Pakistani heartthrob.

After all, KJo's roped in Fawad for a small but significant role in his directorial comeback, Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, which stars Ranbir Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan and Anushka Sharma. Fans hope that this partnership is only getting started, and KJo's new favourite boy lands a big role in his future film with Deepika.
