Saif Ali Khan has a new girl in his life — and no, Kareena has no reason to worry. This new girl will star opposite Saif in his upcoming film Cocktail. What’s that you say? Deepika Padukone was supposed to act in the film? Well yes, Dippy’s role is on as planned, but the film will have one more actress playing the parallel female lead. However, no one knows who that actress will be as yet as director Homi Adjania and Saif have placed a strict embargo on the film’s unit on revealing anything about her.
“This actress hasn’t acted in a Bollywood film before,” says a senior crewmember on condition of anonymity. “She has a strong role, justifying the ‘cocktail’ in Saif’s life, and will be the surprise package in the film.”
Of course, this is a tactic that has worked well for Saif in Love Aaj Kal too. “Nobody knew that Giselle Monteiro would be in the film, and till the day of the release, everyone thought she was a real Punjabi kudi. Saif threw a real shocker when he revealed that she was Brazilian,” our source says.
