Deepika and Saif re unite for Illuminati Films

Saif and Deepika

 

Saif and Deepika’s jodi in ‘Love Aaj Kal’ was liked by all and sundry and that is the reason why Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone team up yet again in an Illuminati Films (Saif and partner Dinesh Vijan’s banner) project. The movie is yet to get its title and its script is written by Imtiaz Ali. Ali was the one who directed Deepika and Chhote Nawab in Love Aaj Kal. This time the direction will be in the hands of Homi Adajania. 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 Deepika, Saif is all praises and 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.”

Deepika, too keeps pace in praising her co-star and says, “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.”
