Kareena
Kapoor
and
Deepika
Padukone
will
be
seen
getting
jiggy
for
a
hot
item
number
in
Red
Chillies
Entertainment's
Billoo
Barber
with
Shahrukh
Khan.
Irrfan
Khan
plays
the
title
role
in
the
film
directed
by
Priyadarshan.
Billoo
Barber
is
an
adaptation
of
the
story
of
the
Krishna-Sudama
friendship
and
is
said
to
be
a
remake
of
the
superhit
Malayalam
film
Kadha
Parayaumbol.
Says
a
source
close
to
Kareena,
"Though
Kareena
and
Shahrukh
haven't
done
any
films
together;
after
Asoka
and
Don,
their
chemistry
has
been
sizzling.
Bebo
is
also
very
fond
of
SRK.
When
Shahrukh,
who
plays
a
superstar
in
Billoo
Barber,
asked
her
to
perform
to
a
song
with
him,
she
agreed.
Kareena
is
keeping
dates
aside
and
will
soon
be
shooting
for
the
song
by
next
week.
Deepika
Padukone
is
also
being
pencilled
in
for
the
song
with
SRK.
Kareena
and
Deepika
will
be
the
two
actresses
playing
themselves
vying
for
Shahrukh's
attention
in
the
song." Billoo
Barber
is
a
story
based
on
the
friendship
between
two
friends
-
one,
a
rich
city
slicker
and
the
other,
a
poor
villager.
SRK
plays
a
big
star
while
Irrfan
Khan
plays
a
village
barber.
The
two
are
friends
since
their
school
days;
who
drifted
apart
only
to
meet
years
later.
Tabu
was
initially
considered
for
the
lead
opposite
Irrfan
but
now
Amisha
Patel
has
been
signed
on.
While
Gulzar
has
penned
the
lyrics,
the
screenplay
is
by
Mushtaq
Sheikh
and
Manisha
Korde.
