Parineeti Excited About Working With Saif Ali Khan

Parineeti Chopra has so far not worked with any of the Khan superstars. That's about to change. Thanks to Kareena Kapoor.

She has signed a film with Saif Ali Khan, with his Begum's permission, of course and Parineeti is over the moon as she has the hugest crush on the Nawab. Apparently Kareena who likes Parineeti's spontaneity thought the Ishaqzaade actress to be ideal for the part in the film that her husband would co-produce and play the lead in.

According to sources the film is a rom-com about two vastly mis-matched people who find love under extremely trying circumstances.

Confesses Parineeti, "I've been a Saif Ali Khan fan for years. He makes me go weak in the knees. I don't know how I'm going to face the camera with him, probably like Jayaji with Dhamendra Paaji in Hrishikesh Mukherjee's Guddi."

But face the camera, she will.

Says fan-girl Parineeti, "Yes, I'm doing a film with Saif. Even as I say it I find it hard to believe. It will be produced by Saif's production house Illuminati. What is most interesting is that Saif's partner Dinesh Vijeyan will turn director with the film starring Saif and me. So I've double reason to be happy and excited."

Adding to her pleasure is the fact that this would be her first film with a Khan.

"So far I've only worked with the younger heroes, practically all of them from Ranveer to Sushant to Aditya Roy Kapoor. This is my first film with a Khan superstar. Hopefully I'll get to do work with the other Khans after this."
