It is heard that Saif Ali Khan is all set to start shooting for his film with Imtiaz Ali in London. The yet untitled film stars Deepika Padukone.
For the look test for the film, Saif wanted only his trusted hairstylist, Aalim Hakim. Apparently, he has asked for Aalim to be especially come down to London for a day for the test. Saif, it seems is very excited about the film as it will be his first as a producer. Not only is he charged up about the script but he also wants to leave no stone unturned to make it a success.
Like many of his recent films, Saif wants to try a couple of looks for the film and that's why he wants only Aalim, who has been his hairstylist for over seven years now to take the final call.
Though London is known as the hub of hairstylists, Saif still insisted on Aalim to be flown down as he has also designed Saif's look for other films like Omkara, Race and even the recent Tashan. When contacted Aalim said that Saif has called him to London, as he wants me to finalize the look for his film. I will definitely be going for the look test.
Saif is very excited about the film, as this is his first home production. Even I was more than happy to flow down to London, as it is the Mecca of hair stylists. Incidentally one of Aalim's assistant would be present throughout the making of the film in London as well.

Deepika to work with Ranbir and Rishi Kapoor!!!
Ranbir Kapoor’s girlfriend Deepika Padukone will be sharing screen space with Rishi Kapoor in Saif Ali Khan’s first production, which will be directed by Imtiaz Ali of Jab We Met fame. Deepika did the reading with her Rishi uncle for the film, and she was simply surprised. She said that she is lucky enough to work with both Ranbir and Rishi Kapoor. Now, all she needs is a film with Neetu aunty to complete the picture.
The actress, who debuted with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om, has also signed a film with Saif Ali Khan to play the leading lady in his untitled film. She said that she is definitely looking forward to work with Saif. According to her, he is one of the best actors we’ve ever had,” she said. But, before that, Deepika is currently shooting for Nikhil Advani’s action flick 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 that you’ll see in Chandni Chowk To China ,” she said.
However, her first release after Om Shanti Om 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...Siddharth Anand was honest enough to tell me there were three other girls with Ranbir in the film — now, of course, there’re only two other girls!”

Kareena’s possessiveness for her director Imtiaz
We all know that how Aishwarya Rai and Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Karisma Kapoor and David Dhawan, Kajol and Karan Johar - all Bollywood actresses were overprotective about their respective hit directors. Now, it is Kareena Kapoor who also shows like indications with Jab We Met director Imtiaz Ali.
Imtiaz Ali is casting Om Shanti Om girl, Deepika Padukone for his upcoming movie as a replacement for Kareena.During the awards night, Kareena made a comment saying that she was upset because she was not been casted in Imtiaz's next film. Her bold speech, that too on the stage, left Imtiaz pretty surprised. Though she made this comment in a teasing manner, it seemed that she got her point straightforward.
It was assumed likely by Kareena that after making a hit like Jab We Met, Imtiaz would obviously cast her in his next movie. But when she got to know that it was OSO girl Deepika Padukone and not she, she was quite displeased. So on stage at the Filmfare awards function, Kareena cleverly placed the message across. It was her way of letting Imtiaz know that she is not very happy about not being part of his next film.
