Priyanka and Ranbir in a rom-com!

Priyanka and Ranbir in a rom-com!

Dusky damsel Priyanka Chopra will be seen next to Ranbir Kapoor in Siddharth Anand 's next venture. Yes, Priyanka hasn't stepped out from the project; she is very much part of it.

The movie is said to be a romantic comedy and will be produced by Sajid Nadiadwala instead of Yashraj Films , who have produced all the earlier films of Siddharth. It's believed that both Siddharth and Sajid wanted a fresh pair and that's why it was Priyanka opposite Ranbir, as this couple has never been seen on screen.

Apparently, Priyanka had initially said no to the project when she heard that the role requires her to gain weight, as the movie's story was about a fat girl and a good-looking young boy. Now, Siddharth has abandoned that old script and is working on a new one for this project, though genre remains the same.

However, according to sources, many actresses were approached for the flick but all said no as no one was comfortable in looking fat. Even speculations were rife that Katrina Kaif might do this role, but according to Siddharth it was just a rumour. Katrina worked with Siddharth in Bachna Ae Haseeno , but her part was axed because the movie was getting too lengthy.

The movie will most likely be shot in the US. Siddharth has confirmed that Ranbir and Priyanka have been signed but is not willing to give any further details, only that the movie is a "romantic comedy with a twist".
