Who will finally get to have Priyanka-Saif jodi?

Siddharth Anand and Kunal Kohli mutually agree who will finally get to have Priyanka-Saif jodi in their project. How rare is that!

Saif Ali Khan and Priyanka Chopra were all set to do two back-to-back films together at the beginning of next year. This, Saif felt would be one too many.

Not that he has any objection to working with Priyanka in more than one film, even though she is girlfriend Kareena Kapoor's arch rival.

The problem was that the two films, being directed by two of his pals Kunal Kohli and Siddharth Anand would go on the floors at around the same time.

Says a source, "Khan sat down with both his director dosts and told them to select Priyanka for one of the two projects. Kunal and Siddharth both agreed that she should only do the latter's film with Saif."

Confirming the fact that the privilege of working with the untried Saif-Priyanka pair for the first time has gone to Anand, Kohli says, "Yes, he and I did mutually decide that only one of us should go for the Saif-Priyanka pair.

When we realised we were both going to be shooting our films at the same time, I called Siddharth over to my office and we discussed the pairing issue like two mature human beings.

And since Saif is signed by both of us, I let him have the Saif-Priyanka pair. I can always work with her some other time."

When told about how unusual such a pairing pact is between filmmakers Kunal shrugs, "But why should there be a squabble over stars? Siddharth was my assistant in Hum Tum.

We go back a long way. His wife Mamta is also a very good friend of my wife and I. I am happy he's working with Priyanka again (after Anjaana Anjaani). I am sure I'll work with her soon."
