The movie will be produced by Illuminati Films and has been scripted by Imtiaz Ali. The yet untitled film will go on floors in April 2011 and will be shot in London, Spain and Delhi.
Adajania said, "It’s a similar space from where Love Aaj Kal left off and then it roller-coasters from there… Imtiaz has given us a hysterical and open-minded celebration of relationships that explore the various choices that life may offer… and what people are willing to surrender for love or sacrifice for friendship."
Saif added, "I was waiting for a script as contemporary and relevant as this to come my way and it has been worth the wait. I’m very excited about this story, it is romantic, funny and has a great balance of drama and entertainment. I’ve wanted to do a love story with a modern sensibility and treatment and I know that Homi will give us exactly that. I’m also looking forward to my pairing with Deepika again. She has a fantastic role in this and I think she has grown impressively since Love Aaj Kal and will handle it very well."
Padukone said, "For me to do a romantic film it has to be very exciting, and yet different, and to find a script like this, which is edgy and quirky, had an instant connect for me, it has a bit of everything, and I have seen Homi’s Being Cyrus, and absolutely love his work, I have great respect for him, and I’m confident he is the perfect choice to direct this film. I haven’t played shades of a character like this before. This film also marks the reunion of the Love Aaj Kal team, with Saif, Dinoo and me. I’m very excited to be working with Saif again, he is one of my favourite co-stars and I hope we can recreate the magic of Love Aaj Kal once again on screen."
Illuminati Films’ Dinesh Vijan said, "At Illuminati, Saif and I have always wanted to develop projects of diverse genres and stories that we believe in. We want to take our time and create content that today’s well-exposed audience might like. Imtiaz has given us a beautiful story. The audience loved Saif and Deepika in Love Aaj Kal and I am happy that we could bring this pair together again."
