After much dillydallying David Dhawan has finally zeroed-in on a title for his spanking new Govinda-Salman project.

The film is going to be called Partner. "I called it that because it's a film about male bonding. It's a buddy-buddy film," says David, exhausted after Zayed Khan's wedding festivities.

Makes you wonder if Bollywood is into a season of prolonged male-bonding flicks beginning with Suneel Darshan's Dosti where Bobby Deol and Akshay Kumar play buddy-buddy, which opens next month.

After Shaadi No 1 and Zayed's shaadi, it's time for David to move on . "Govinda and Salman will be the main focus of the film's interest. I chose the title Partner because the film's main focus will be the two actor's partnership."

Lara Dutta and Katrina Kaif will co-star opposite Salman and Govinda, respectively. The film goes on the floors between 10 and 15 December.

Producer Sohail Khan is going into partnership with K Sera Sera, the company that has co-produced a large number of Ram Gopal Varma's films.

"It's not about the company, but the company that I keep," jokes Sohail.

"The partnership for Partner isn't so much with K Sera Sera as its top-man Faraaz Sanghvi. For a while he has shown interest in a collaboration. Since I felt a growing comfort-level with him I saw no reason to say no. But we aren't going into a long-term multi-movie collaboration with K Sera Sera . At the most we'll do one more film together. That could be my other production Fight Club."

Fight Club is an out-and-out actioner featuring Sohail with Suneel Shetty, Dino Morea , Riteish Deshmukh and Zayed Khan.

"But I'm not playing a part in Partner. Salmanbhai and Govinda can take centrestage. I'm just happy serving as a producer ," smiles Sohail.
