Director Nikhil Advani, who has been shooting hectically in China for his new action-comedy Chandni Chowk To China, has confirmed that Deepika Padukone is playing a double role in the movie.
“That’s right,” said Advani. “Deepika is doing a double role in my film.”
This would be Deepika’s second double role after her debut Om Shanti Om.
When quizzed about the music of the film, Advani said: “While the rest of the score by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, with a little help from Kailash Kher, is completely original, we’ve used Bappi Lahiri’s Bombay se aaya mera dost from the film Aap Ki Khatir. Bappi has reworked and re-sung the song.”
Advani’s directorial debut Kal Ho Naa Ho was a runaway success at the box office, but his second film Salaam-e-Ishq was a letdown.
Chandani Chowk to China is a mega-budget film and is produced by Warner Brothers and Rohan Sippy.
