Sanjay-Saif chemistry will reflect in 'Nehle Pe Dehla': Chandok

Mumbai, Jan 18 (IANS) Director Ajay Chandok is hopeful that the onscreen chemistry between Sanjay Dutt and Saif Ali Khan will work in his much delayed "Nehle Pe Dehla" just like it did in "Parineeta".

"Sanju and Saif did a fantastic job in 'Parineeta'. They have also teamed up for 'Eklavya' and I'm sure their chemistry will reflect in 'Nehle Pe Dehla' as well," said Chandok feigning ignorance about the delay in the film's release.

The film, stalled due to various reasons, will finally hit the screens on Feb 9, reports Bollywood Trade.

Also starring Bipasha Basu and Kim Sharma, the film is a comic caper. Sanjay (Johny) and Saif (Jimmy) play small time crooks while Bipasha plays a rich hotelier.

Chandok, who had worked as an assistant director to David Dhawan, is bowled over by Sanjay's professionalism.

"Sanju was under a lot of pressure but he went out of his way to complete the dubbing of my film."

Asked about the status of "Phir Sholay", he said: "It's too early to talk about it. Right now I just want to focus on 'Nehle Pe Dehla'."

"Phir Sholay" will reportedly be yet another version of Ramesh Sippy's blockbuster "Sholay". It will feature Arbaaz Khan, Javed Jaffrey, Aashish Chowdhary and Akshay Kapoor in lead roles.

Ram Gopal Varma is currently shooting his version of "Sholay" with Amitabh Bachchan, Ajay Devgan, Sushmita Sen and Nisha Kothari.
