Amitabh and Shahid in a movie together?

I guess that's a sign of moving up in the Bollywood industry, when you get to work with Amitabh Bachchan. Well, it's not confirmed yet but the story is that Shahid Kapoor will be starring with Amitabh Bachchan in Ravi Chopra's new movie Pocket Maar (Pickpocket).

Last year Ravi spoke about the role, but nothing was heard for a few months but stories have emerged that Shahid will be playing a role alongside Big B, although his avatar has not be confirmed.

For those who didn't know, Ravi Chopra directed Baghban and Baabul which both featured Amitabh in lead roles and he says,

"We've so far done Baghban and Baabul. And decades ago I directed him in Zameer. I couldn't plunge into another film with him just because of the rapport we share. The project has to be worthy of his presence. I'm now planning Pocket Maar with Mr Bachchan for early next year."

"No, this time he plays the victim of a pickpocket's designs. For the man who commits the crime it's just another job done, and finished with. But what about the man who loses, say 10,000 rupees? What repercussions does this loss have on his life? Mr Bachchan will play that man."

But now I'm really confused, because after some in-depth and strenuous research (a quick Google search), some sources report that the story is a remake of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Even though Oliver is supposed to be 9 or so, he's grown up to the age of 22, and will be played by Shahid. His "mentor" and tormentor Fagin will be played by Amitabh. An interesting combination and since the film is supposed to start shooting in September, Ravi better get those signatures quickly!
