Deepika Padukone plays double role in 'Chandni Chowk To China'

By Subhash K. Jha



Mumbai, April 15 (IANS) Director Nikhil Advani, who has been shooting with hectic celerity in China for his new action-comedy "Chandni Chowk To China", confirms that Deepika Padukone is playing double role in the movie.



"That's right," confirmed 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 him about the music of the film, Advani told IANS: "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 letdown. 



"Chandani Chowk to China" is a mega-budget film and is produced by Warner Brothers and Rohan Sippy.
