The " Yamla Pagla Deewana" sequel will go on floors by August end and the hunt for the leading lady in the movie is still on. Sangeeth Sivan, who has replaced Samir Karnik, director of the first "YPD", is on the lookout for the same.
While there has been a lot of speculation surrouding this, we hear the Deols are keen on casting Katrina Kaif, who shared screen space with them in "Apne", back in 2007.
Says Bobby Deol, "All I can say right now is that we will be shooting extensively in Birmingham and other parts of England." About news of Preity Zinta having been dropped from the project due to the sum she demanded for the film, he says, "There's no truth in this. This has never been the case and PZ is a dear friend."
A source close to the unit said, "Negotiations are on. If Katrina doesn't agree, there are some other names under consideration." The sequel will see a change in the storyline. "Of course, there will be action since Sunny is there. We added more elements to the story," says Bobby, who is growing his hair for his role in the sequel. The movie is likely to be wrapped up by the end of this year; the Deols are not keen on delaying the project.
