According to reports, John Abraham, who’s rumoured to have split with longtime girlfriend Bipasha Basu, immersed himself into work to keep himself distracted. But during 40-odd days of the London schedule of Desi Boyz a month back, he seems to hit it off with his co-star Deepika. Says a source from London, “John and Deepika met on the sets. They barely knew each other when they first met, but now seem to have hit it off really well. They are young, fun and have been giving each other company beyond the sets. In fact they were even spotted enjoying each other’s company at a bash thrown by actor Akshay Kumar after the London schedule wrapped up.”

Abraham has been nursing a broken heart and Padukone seems to have walked into his life at the perfect time. The source adds, “Though it’s too early to say that they could be dating, they are definitely bonding. Both seem to be exceptionally comfortable with each other and share crackling chemistry.”

Interestingly, Deepika hasn’t confirmed or denied her relationship with liquour baron Vijay Mallya’s son Siddharthatill date. However they were recently snapped kissing during a cricket match in Bangalore last week. So, wassup Padukone?

“I am reading the script and dwelling into the details of my character. I am really glad to be a part of it and I am pretty excited about the film.
However john did not speak much about his role in the film which reportedly revolves around young woman and her hitman boyfriend.

The 36-year-old actor, who is riding high on the achievement of gay-comedy ‘Dostana, hopes that the sequel of the film will also charm the audiences. But Abraham did not confirm whether he would be a part of the sequel.

The gangster drama will be directed by Director Andy Armstrong, who last made TV series ‘The New Adventures of Robin Hood’. Armstrong will portray a bizarre picture of underworld with eccentric characters, angst and violence.

“Dostana-2 is definitely on. I really can’t confirm if I am a part of it but I am hoping for the best,” the actor said.
