Neil, Deepika play tough in Lafangey...

The first look of one of the most anticipated films this year — Yash Raj Films’ Lafangey Parindey — is now out. Slated for an August 20 release, the film has been directed by Pradeep Sarkar and stars Neil Nitin Mukesh and Deepika Padukone in the lead.

As the first images from the movie indicate, both Neil and Deepika have portrayed extremely challenging roles in this love story. The first look also reveals that the film has a very gritty portrayal of the Mumbai streets.

The film, which follows the rivalry among bike gangs in Mumbai, required Neil to engage in some serious street fighting. Deepika dons the mantle of a biker chick, complete with leather jackets, daredevil stunts and bike rides.

Incidentally, Deepika’s first project under the YRF banner, Bachna Ae Haseeno, and Neil’s New York with the same banner, were both box office successes. Here’s hoping their lucky run continues.
