Ranbir and Deepika's next film to be based on Raj Kapoor-Nargis' Chori Chori?

Bollywood actors Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone will reportedly reunite on the big screen soon. Sources have said that the two actors will star in an Ayan Mukherji directed film that will be loosely based on classic film, Chori Chori. Ranbir's grandfather Raj Kapoor and the evergreen Nargis had starred in the 1956 film.

Ranbir and Deepika to star in an adaptation of 1956 cult classic, Chori Chori

According to a news outlet Ayan Mukherji will direct a film based on Chori Chori, a Raj Kapoor-Nargis starrer. The director will bring back one of Bollywood's favourite on-screen couples, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone.

1956's Chori Chori is a romantic comedy that is actually an Indian adaptation of the Hollywood classic It Happened One Night, starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert.

Much like the original English film, Chori Chori is the story of the blossoming love between a runaway heiress, Kammo (Nargis) and a sincere reporter, Sagar (Raj Kapoor). Kammo runs away with her boyfriend, a greedy pilot named Sumankumar. However, during her journey she meets Sagar and do not get along. As they spend time together, the two fall in love.

If reports are to be trusted, the new adaptation will not follow every detail of the original plot but will give it a twist and a modern-day setting. The film will be a tribute to the legendary Bollywood couple Raj Kapoor and Nargis who have gifted the Indian film audience with several blockbusters.

If the film goes on as planned, Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone will be seen together in a film after 10 years. The former couple were last seen in Tamasha, a 2015 film directed by Imtiaz Ali.

Ranbir and Deepika have had several hits together including Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani and Bachna Ae Haseeno.
