While father –son duo Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor may be waiting for a chance to star together, the first chance goes to Deepika Padukone, Ranbir’s ladylove who is all set to star with his dad in the forthcoming movie to be produced by Saif Ali Khan.

Deepika and Rishi Kapoor are sharing space in Saif’s yet untitled production to be directed by Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met fame.

“I did a reading with Rishi uncle for the film, and I was simply stunned. He’s that good. Imtiaz’s film will be a departure for me,” Deepika told the press.” I’m definitely looking forward to working with Saif. He’s one of the best actors we’ve ever done,”she added.

But before that Deepika is currently shooting for Nikhil Advani’s “Chandni Chowk To China” with Akshay Kumar. “I’ve trained in martial arts for the film. And I enjoyed myself thoroughly. Because I’m athletic. People see me as very ladylike and proper. But there’s another, very tomboyish side of me which you’ll see in Chandni Chowk To China.”

However, her first post Om Shanti Om release would be Yash Raj Films’ Bachna Ae Haseenon. In the film, Deepika has to share her boyfriend Ranbir with two other leading ladies. “Yes, but that’s only for the screen no?” she quipped. “It is Ranbir’s film all the way. In my very first narration I was sure I wanted to do it.

Deepika and Ranbir seem to be following the new trend in Bollywood, which is to flaunt romantic relationships. Earlier couples in the film industry who were seeing each other, tried to keep it a secret. But now it is the trend to bring it into the open-Saif-kareena, John- Bipasha and now Ranbir- Deepika have decided to flaunt their relationships in public.
