After Shoojit Sircar's "Piku" Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone are all set to team up once again in Vishal Bhardwaj's which is said to be a thriller once again. However, the duo was supposed to start shooting from March first week but, the filmmaker had to push the shooting dates due to their ill health.

While Irrfan is suffering from jaundice, Deepika is down with her back pain. The filmmaker recently took to his Facebook account to announce the reason behind pushing the shooting dates along with that he also revealed the name of the duo's character in the film - Irrfan's name will be Ustara whereas, Deepika's will be named as Afshan.

He wrote,

"I am pushing back the film by a few months as both of my lead actors are down with different health problems. Irrfan is down with jaundice and it will take him a few weeks to recover and Deepika Padukone's back problem which had previously developed during the shooting of Padmaavat has now resurfaced. Her role in the film is very physically demanding and the doctor has advised her not to do any strenuous work for a couple of months.

In the past few weeks, I felt like I was back in the days of Maqbool while prepping with them. Deepika and Irrfan's look tests have come out exceptionally well, nothing like you've seen before, and it took me a moment to recognize them when I saw the test photographs.

I want both of them to be strong and fit before we start the film. I would also like to clarify that the film is still untitled and is not based on Rahima Khan/Sapna Didi's life. Yes, it's a takeoff from the story Femme Fatale from Hussain Zaidi's book Mafia Queens of Mumbai but as we worked on this idea, the story and screenplay have taken on a new identity and shape which is nowhere close to the above-mentioned names. Hence, it's definitely not a biopic.

Sending pyaar and duaaen to my Ustara and Afshan.
