MUMBAI: Bollywood hunk John Abraham has found a new ‘friend’ in Deepika Padukone just days after his split with Bong bombshell Bipasha Basu.
Apparently, while Bipasha is hanging out with ‘Singularity’ co-star Josh Hartnett and ‘Dum Maro Dum’ actor Rana Daggubati, John’s latest squeeze is the dimpled hottie, who could not take her eyes off John, while shooting for Rohit Dhawan’s ‘Desi Boyz’. Talking to a daily, a source said, “John’s camaraderie with Deepika has been the talk of the industry.
Both appeared extremely comfortable, in each other’s company in London.”
Buzz is that while filming a song in Brighton, John and Deepika bonded like thick friends. John, decorous as ever, seems to have made quite an impression on Deepika who’s said to be dating Siddharth Mallya.
“One never expected John and Deepika to bond with each other and that too so soon. But it has happened,” added the source.
When inquired about Deepika, John said, “She’s sweet and professional.” Well, one wonders what Sidharth Mallya has to say of this new friendship. Interestingly, Deepika too hasn’t been seen with the Mallya lad for quite some time now. In that case, it was perhaps two like-minded costars bonding on the sets, but may be there’s more smoke than fire to all this gossip.
Apart from John and Deepika, who will be seen on screen together for the first time, ‘Desi Boyz’ will star Amitabh Bachchan, Akshay Kumar and ‘Hazaaron Khwaishein Aisi’ actress Chitrangada Singh.
Sonam Kapoor and Anushka Sharma were originally offered roles in the fun flick, but declined the offer as their schedules clashed with the production. Directed by newcomer Rohit Dhawan, son of David Dhawan, and produced by Sanjeet Sabharwal, ‘Desi Boyz’ will hit theaters on November 25.
