Deepika and Saif team-up again. What will Bebo say?

Deepika Padukone 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."

Deepika getting into shape for utterly sceret item song

By Subhash K Jha

Deepika Padukone is getting into shape to shoot the sizzling Dum maro dum track for Rohan Sippy's film of that title at Yashraj Studios on Tuesday.

The Anand Bakshi-penned song re-written by Jaideep Sahni (who has scripted Yashraj's Chak De and Rocket Singh Salesman Of The Year) and re-composed by Pritam Chakraborty will be choreographed by Bosco-Caesar. The song will be shot in utter secrecy.

And now in the film's leading lady Bipasha Basu's absence (she's in Australia shooting for Roland Joffe's Singularity) the song is all set to sizzle with Deepika dazzling on the dance-floor, her second item song. The first was with Shah Rukh Khan in Billu.

This time she go-goes it alone.

Says a source from the crew, “It's rave-party song. Deepika will be seen dancing to Dum maro dum at the party. At the end of the song cop Abhishek Bachchan will raid the rave party. So even he can't be part of the song.”

Adds the source, “Dum maro dum could never have been filmed on Bipasha. Her character cannot be present during the time when the song happens.”

However that's not the impression Bipasha had been given.

The song is being shot in a great rush. Apparently composer Pritam Chakraborty has not even decided on the voice to be used to sing Dum maro dum.

“They're going ahead to shoot the dance with a scratch recording, ” whispers the source. Let's hope Bipasha doesn't raid Deepika's rave party before Abhishek does.
