Deepika to match Akshay fist-for-fist

Model turned actress Deepika Padukone, who comes from an athletic family, will be training hard to match Akshay Kumar's martial art skills in Nikhil Advani's next film, which may be called "Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo".

The slick flick will be shot entirely in Shanghai.

"We've signed Deepika opposite Akshay. I think they'll make a great pair. More than that she suits the part completely. She has lots and lots of action to perform in the film. Deepika has to match Akshay fist-for-fist, stunt-for-stunt," Advani told IANS.

As for the title, "We want to call it 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Choo' (to go with the Shanghai ambience). (But) I think there is a copyright problem. We're trying to solve that."

Advani is very excited about shooting in Shanghai.

"No Hindi film has been shot there before. We've already zeroed in on the areas where we'll be shooting."
