MUMBAI: The Saif Ali Khan- Deepika Padukone starrer Love Aaj Kal is being remade in Telugu.

Directed by Jayanth Paranji, who also directed Munnabhai MBBS in Telugu, the film will have Pawan Kalyan essaying Saif Ali Khan‘s role while Ileana D‘cruz will play that of Deepika Padukone.

But sadly, Rishi Kapoor will not be seen in the film. His role of the sprightly old Sardar will be played by Paresh Rawal.

The plot of the film, however, will undergo a few changes. Paranji admits that though the essence of the story will be the same, the film will be a different take on Love Aaj Kal.

Unlike the Imtiaz Ali film in which Rishi Kapoor narrates the story of his younger days, Paresh will tell the story of a friend of his.
