Deepika gets her wish, teams up with her fav co- star in his next home production. What will Bebo say? Love Aaj Kal duo Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone team up yet again in an Illuminati Films ( Saif and partner Dinesh Vijan's banner) project. Contemporary script The untitled movie has been scripted by Imtiaz Ali ( who directed Dippy- SAK in Love Aaj Kal) and directed by Homi Adajania ( Saif featured in his Being Cyrus). Set to go on floors in April 2011, it will be shot in New Delhi, London and Spain. Says Saif, " I was waiting for a script as contemporary and relevant as this is to come my way — and it has been worth the wait. The story is romantic, funny and has a great balance of drama and entertainment. I've wanted to do a love story with a modern sensibility and treatment." About working with Deepika again, the actor- producer says, " I'm looking forward to my pairing again. She has a fantastic role and I think she has grown impressively since Love Aaj Kal and will handle it very well." Like Imtiaz's earlier movies Socha Na Tha, Jab We Met and Love Aaj Kal — they all delve into relationships — the writer- director's script explores the various choices of life. As Adajania puts it, " It's a similar space from where Love Aaj Kal left off and then it roller- coasters from there." Deepika, who considers Saif her favourite co- star feels she hasn't played shades of a character like this before. " To find a script like this, which is edgy and quirky, had an instant connect for me. It also marks the reunion of the LAK team, with Saif, Dinoo ( Dinesh Vijan) and me. I'm very excited to be working with Saif again, and I hope we can recreate the magic of Love Aaj Kal once again." Dinesh maintains, " At Illuminati, Saif and I have always wanted to develop projects of diverse genres and stories we believe in. We want to take our time and create content that today's well- exposed audience might like. Imtiaz has given us a beautiful story." |
