By Manissha Despaande, Indo-Asian News Service
Mumbai, Dec 22 (IANS) With Sunny Deol and Rajkumar Santoshi officially burying the hatchet and deciding to do a film together, indications are that the actor may not go ahead with plans to produce a second version of "Prithviraj Samyukta".

The differences between the two first surfaced during Bobby Deol's debut film "Barsaat", when the film bit the dust at the box office. The two eventually overcame their differences but the spat resurfaced after Santoshi replaced Sunny with Ajay Devgan in "Lajja".
There were fresh differences when both of them made films on the same subject of martyr Bhagat Singh. However, as Santoshi recently declared, they have written off all their differences and decided to do a film together next year, reports Bollywood Trade.
On the other hand, rumours are rife that director Chandraprakash Dwivedi is looking for another suitable producer to finance his dream project on the Rajput king Prithviraj and his ladylove Samyukta.
Even if he is associated with the film, Sunny may now look at it only from the point of view of enacting the title role.
In fact, he recently revealed in one of his interviews that he was not looking at making any big film apart from the sequel to "Betaab" after the severe losses he made in production.
Dwivedi will also have to take a fresh look at who will play the prized role of Samyukta in his film. With Priyanka Chopra clearly denying she was doing the film, he was considering approaching Aishwarya Rai once again for the film but, according to the latter's business manager Harri Singh, the question does not arise since he will have to wait for her dates till late 2007.
Meanwhile, Santoshi who had only a month ago ruled out the possibility of working with Aishwarya in "Prithviraj Samyukta" has now confirmed that she will be playing the female role in his film.
Aishwarya's business manager said Ash was committed to doing a film with Santoshi and would honour the commitment.
Santoshi has scheduled "Prithviraj Samyukta" for an early 2007 launch, when Ajay Devgan is also said to have allotted dates to him for the title role.
