Posted by New Delhi: The blockbuster Hollywood duo of Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are reportedly all set to join forces once again. It is being said that the 81-year-old filmmaker is in talks to direct the Frank Sinatra biopic.
The upcoming film is expected to star the 49-year-old hunk and actress Jennifer Lawrence in the lead. However, there is no official confirmation about the same yet.
