Yesterday,
Sajid
Nadiadwala
signed
Deepika
Padukone
for
his
next
yet-untitled
flick.
It
is
to
be
directed
by
Sajid
Khan,
whose
sister
Farah
directed
the
actress
in
her
debut,
Om
Shanti
Om.
Deepika
confirms
the
development,
"Yes.
I
am
part
of
Sajid
Khan"s
film
produced
by
Sajid
Nadiadwala
opposite
Akshay
Kumar."
Says
Nadiadwala,
"Sajid
Khan's
film
will
also
have
Riteish
Deshmukh,
another
hero
and
two
more
heroines.
It's
a
romantic
comedy.
I
have
always
believed
in
working
with
the
best
—
Tabu,
Karisma,
Rani,
Preity,
Priyanka
and
now
Kareena
and
Deepika.
Sajid
(Khan)
met
with
Deepika
in
Bangkok.
She
loved
the
story
and
said
yes."
Nadiadwala's
next
will
be
Shaabir
Khan's
Kambakht
Ishq
(Akshay
and
Kareena)
followed
by
Sajid
Khan"s
movie.
After
that
will
be
Siddharth
Anand's
movie
with
Saif
Ali
Khan,
Ranbir
Kapoor
and
Kareena.
Says
Farah
Khan,
"I
am
very
happy
for
Deepika
and
Sajid
(Khan)
though
I
don't
even
know
what
the
story
is.
I
don"t
know
what
film
he's
making.
It's
news
to
me
that
Deepika
has
signed
Sajid's
film.
Neither
my
brother
nor
Deepika
tell
me
anything
but
it's
very
good
that
they
are
working
together
both
will
get
along
very
well."
