After ‘Piku’, Deepika Padukone and
Irrfan Khan again teamed up together. The couple is coming together for Sanjay
Leela Bhansali’s next project, titled, ‘Gustakhiyan’. The film is based on the real-life
romance of literature giants, Sahir Ludhianvi and Amrita Pritam.
Irrfan Khan will play the male
lead protagonist poet Sahir Ludhianvi while Deepika will step into the role of
an author Amrita Pritam’s role. Earlier, Priyanka Chopra was roped in to play
author Amrita Pritam’s role but it is learnt that Priyanka Chopra walked out of the
project.
“Since Priyanka got along very
well with Gustakhiyan producer Sanjay Leela Bhansali, reports of her playing
Amrita Pritam were taken to be authentic. But the truth is, Priyanka is not
doing Gustakhiyan,” says a source.
“After Piku where they played a tentative couple, Irrfan and Deepika would
get a chance to do a full-fledged romantic film. It would be a terrific
follow-up. On the other hand, Irrfan and Priyanka have only done Saat Khoon
Maaf together which was a dud at the box office,” ads the source.
Well, it is highly expected that Deepika and Irrfan will again
spark on-screen chemistry.
