Saif, Deepika reshoot 'Love Aaj Kal'

Saif Ali Khan and Deepika Padukone have been forced to reshoot scenes from Love Aaj Kal following a technical hitch.

The pair returned to Mehboob Studios in Mumbai after the crew discovered a problem with one of the cameras.

A source told The Times of India: "The initial shoot of the Saif Ali Khan-Deepika Padukone starrer was scheduled to be completed in three days for which a motion-control rig camera was arranged. Everything was proceeding smoothly on Sunday when suddenly, a technical error corrupted the camera.

"As a result, the five scenes that were shot were completely wiped out. Everybody tried hard to retrieve the scenes to no avail."

Director Imtiaz Ali added: "The entire process was extremely time-consuming. Scenes shot with the special motion-control rig camera always have to be shot from four different angles and that called for 20 takes. Thankfully, the lead couple obliged instantly."

Padukone, who is best known for Om Shanti Om, was recently described as "hotter" than Angelina Jolie by Hollywood director Rob Cohen.
