now Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra will be seen together in a film set against a backdrop of
soccer.
Produced by UTV the film will be shot entirely in Europe during the 2006 FIFA World Cup.

big star cast, which we are in the process of finalizing. We are confident that it is going to be a trend

involving locker room politics. Gradually, he evolves as a better individual.
Priyanka will be playing his love interest in the film. However, Mirchandani claims, "We need some more
time before zeroing in on the cast. It's a little premature to talk about this yet."
