A source says, "There is a lot of buzz around the film considering that Shahid and Saif are a part of it (Shahid was in a relationship with Saif's wife, Kareena Kapoor Khan). We are soon going to Arunachal Pradesh to film a few scenes. It will be interesting to see their on-screen chemistry."
"Kangana Ranaut, who plays the leading lady in this love story set in the World War era, is expected to join us a little later," adds the source.
Since their break-up Shahid and Kareena have preferred to keep a distance from each other. Another source says, "Getting the two actors together for a film was a big casting coup.
However, they have so far been cordial with each other. Even when Saif visited the set of a reality show where Shahid was one of the judges, the two maintained safe distance but were eventually seen chatting. Now, we hope that there won't be any issues between them while working on the film, considering their roles are very different."
Vishal Bhardwaj remained unavailable for comment.
