They have been sahelis for long. And the fact that they are rivals now doesn't bother them. In fact, they are happier and thicker - more so, now that they could bitch about common enemies and catch up on the latest Bollywood gossip, passing on first hand hearsays and laughing over them.

But when JP Dutta wanted 10 heroines to the colossal cast of LoC, he had only Bebo in mind. Little did he know that his heroine would only agree to be part of his mega project if he also signed on her best pal, Esha in one of the pivotal roles.

Dutta couldn't believe his luck and admitted that he couldn't have asked for more - he did need hot actresses opposite the top ten male leads in the film. It was only a phone call that finalized the deal with the Deols since it was probably the Kapoor girl priming her much in advance about the film's details. Dutta is now trying to rope in their third friend Rani Mukherjee for one of the many roles.When the entire cast begins to shoot in Mumbai next week, its going to be one big picnic, it seems. And naturally Kareena and Esha will be at the helm of affairs.
