Sidharth
Malhotra
and
Sonakshi
Sinha
might
not
be
romantically
paired
opposite
each
other
in
the
remake
of
Yash
Chopra's
1969
murder
mystery,
Ittefaq,
but
that
hasn't
dampened
our
excitement
of
watching
these
two
actors
share
screen
space
for
the
first
time.
The
modern-day
adaptation
has
Sidharth
stepping
into
Rajesh
Khanna's
shoes
whereas
Sonakshi
will
be
reprising
Nanda's
role.
The
latest
development
that
we
hear
is
that
the
film
is
scheduled
to
roll
in
the
first
week
of
February.
A
Mumbai
Mirror
report
quoted
a
source
saying,
"The
script
and
dates
have
finally
been
locked
and
the
film
will
be
shot
in
a
start-to-finish,
60-day
schedule
in
India
as
well
as
international
locations."
Ittefaq
was
the
remake
of
the
British
film,
Signpost
to
Murder
(1964.
It
revolved
around
an
artist
who
is
arrested
for
the
murder
of
his
wife
whom
he
had
thrown
off
in
a
moment
of
frustrated
rage
when
she
distracts
him
from
his
painting
and
stormed
out
of
the
house.
While
the
original
film
had
no
songs
and
most
of
the
action
happened
in
the
course
of
one
night,
the
new
version
will
feature
songs
and
a
new
climax.
Earlier
in
an
interview
Sidharth
was
quoted
saying,
"The
premise
will
be
different
although
the
gist
is
the
same.
It
is
still
about
one
night
but
we
have
modified
the
script.
Otherwise,
everyone
knows
what
it's
all
about
and
there
would
be
no
fun.
All
the
characters
here
are
motivated
differently."
He
had
also
revealed
that
the
run-time
of
the
film
will
be
of
shorter
duration
as
they
plan
to
make
it
in
a
very
thrilling
manner.
