Is Mr. Yogi coming to big screen?

I'm sure anyone who had a TV set in early 90's cannot forget Mr. Yogi. An absolutely marvelous creation by Ketan Mehta, where Mohan Gokhle (Y.I.Patel) was screening 13 girls in 13 episodes to find a suitable match for himself.

It seems, Ketan Mehta bought the story from a Gujarati NRI writer. Now this is just my feeling, that this story was Kimball Ravenswood by Madhu Rye. If that's true then we should get ready for the big screen adaptation of this story by none other than Ashutosh Govarikar, titled "what's your rashee", starring Harman & Priyanka.

I don't know how good or bad Harman will be for this movie (sadly, I've seen Love Story 2050 which Ashutosh might not have seen before signing him). But I am sure Ashutosh will do full justice to the amazing story.

I loved Pehla Nashaa & Baazee. Of course, everyone loved Lagaan & Swadesh. I think Jodha-Akbar wasn't bad. I'm really looking forward to the next one...
