Zac Efron and Robert De Niro look set to star in raunchy comedy Dirty Grandpa.
Variety reports that Efron is being lined up to play a young man tricked into driving his grandfather (De Niro), a perverted former Army general, to Florida for spring break.
This will be the second time the pair have collaborated after 2011's ensemble movie New Year's Eve. This is also the second comedy movie Efron has starred in for Universal after this year's smash hit, Bad Neighbours.
Dirty Grandpa will be written and directed by Dan Mazer, best known for his collaborations with Sacha Baron Cohen, particularly on Da Ali G Show and Borat.
De Niro's recent movies include the comedy Grudge Match and the Oscar nominated American Hustle.
A release date for the project is yet to be announced.
