Saif Ali Khan and Riteish Deshmukh have been signed for a comedy produced by Vashu Bhagnani. Both actors have always been known for their great timing which is why it is surprising that it took a producer this long to cast them in a film together.

"We have finalised Saif Ali Khan, Riteish Deshmukh and Jacqueline Fernandez for a comedy film. We have got an amazing star cast in place. We are quite excited about it," said producer Vashu Bhagnani to the Hindustan Times.

"It is a different kind of comedy film and completely original. We will start shooting for the film this year and release it next year," added Bhagnani.

Fernandez-Deshmukh were earlier seen in three films - Aladin (2009), Jaane Kaha Se Aayi Hai, (2010), Housefull 2 (2012), whilst Fernandez-Khan were seen in Race 2 earlier this year.

Incidentally, the film is directed by Sajid Khan who’s just completed Bhagnani’s Himmatwala, which is due for release at the end of this month.
