There was talk of them being together in Tigmanshu Dhulia's Jai Ramji Ki but it got shelved. Now, the two actors will be joined by a seriously funny actor Paresh Rawal for comedy, Aye Dil Sambhal Zara, to be directed a new director called Chandrakant Patil.
Apparently, the film is an unofficial remake of Basu Chatterjee's 1982 comedy Shaukeen in which Ashok Kumar, Utpal Dut and A K Hangal had played three aging men with roving eyes. In the new film, Raveena Tandon will play the object of affection among the three men.
Arjun, who has done poker-faced comedy in Housefull and Rascals, will be seen in a full-on goofy over-the-top avatar with 'cerebral' Irrfan Khan.
As for Raveena, who turned 38 last week, she's looking forward to having a ball. "I can't reveal the plot or its source," she says. "But yes, I am doing full-on comedy with Irrfan, Arjun and Paresh, three of my favourite actors. I enjoyed my comedies with Govinda. They were fun. I am sure this one too will be a super experience."
