Shahid Kapoor

Shahid Kapoor and Deepika Paudkone will be paired for the first time in Prabhu Deva's action thriller 'Namak' which will start filming in January, Sawfnews.com has confirmed through impeccable sources.

There were earlier reports that the film has been delayed.

This is the first time Shahid and Deepika will romance each other on screen and knowing how easily Shahid gets linked to his single leading ladies...we are just saying.

Shahid is fully involved in the film's pre production and rumor has it that he could quit Bijoy Nambiar's next due to start filming at year end.

Deepika is currently filming for Ayan Mukerji's Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani with Ranbir Kapoor. She will next begin filming for Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express with Shah Rukh Khan in October.

Shahid has not shot for any film since Kunal Kohli's Teri Meri Kahaani with Priyanka Chopra.
