While Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez are painting the town red, everyone wondering what happened to his good friend Genelia?

The former Miss Sri Lanks is all set to do her next film, 'Jaane Kahan se Aayi Hai' with Riteish in which she is playing an alien and is pretty excited about it.

But when Jackie (as Riteish fondly calls her) was also added to a song Apni Toh Jaise Taise in Riteish's next film, Housefull, it raised a few doubts. Especially because the film already has three leading ladies - Deepika Padukone, Lara Dutta and Jiah Khan.

We hear producer Sajid Nadiadwala and Sajid Khan were searching for an actress for the song, Riteish convinced them to take Jackie. Although Nadiadwala wanted a more known actress, he ultimately relented.

However, Riteish denies all the rumours and says, "I haven't been recommending Jackie in films. As far as the song in Housefull is concerned, I heard Jackie was doing the song days before it was shot. I didn't know who Sajid had signed before that. She was signed for Jaane Kahan Se Aayi Hai during Aladdin."

Some insiders say that even Genelia denies his alleged link-up with Jacqueline. She understands very well that Riteish has to show Jackie off to the world because they're acting in a movie together.

In the meanwhile talking about her new filmn Jacqueline said, "I am really looking forward to this film. When I first got to know that it's the role of an alien, I immediately took it up. It's not everyday that you get to play an alien in films. It is a very unique love story and it also stars Riteish Deshmukh and Ruslaan Mumtaaz. Riteish plays someone who's been looking for love since he was a baby."
