Arjun Kapoor and Parineeti Chopra will be appearing on screen once again in Vipul Amrutlal Shah’s forthcoming directorial venture Namaste England. The actors have shot for a lavish song sequence titled Tu Meri Main Tera. The song has been shot on a grand scale and is written by Javed Akhtar and composed by Manan Shah.
The song is a travel song and will depict the characters’ journey from Punjab to London. Talking about the song, Vipul Shah said, “The song is an integral part of the film where we show Arjun and Parineeti’s characters travelling from Punjab to London. We did a lot of research and created an interesting route to reach our destination. We started the journey in Punjab, and travelled to Bangladesh border, Dhaka, Brussels, Calais check post in France, and from there to Paris and London. Around 18-20 locations feature in the song. We have even shot in the middle of the sea.”

The song is a gala affair and has been shot at a budget of Rs 5.5 crores. “It is the most expensive song I have shot in my life. It was canned in over 11 days. I direct tracks that don’t require choreography by myself in my films and who better than Javed saab for a travel song. It’s emotional and high on quality. We will decide the singer once we’re back in Mumbai," shared Vipul with a leading daily.
Arjun and Parineeti are teaming up for the third time in this film. They previously worked in Ishaqzaade and have another film Sandeep aur Pinky Faraar in the works. Their chemistry on screen is crackling as the two are good friends. Talking about his leading actors, Vipul said, “This is Arjun and Parineeti’s second film together after Ishaqzaade and they are good friends who play pranks on each other all the time. I call them Tom and Jerry because they are wonderful together and that chemistry will be visible onscreen.” Namaste England is slated for a December 7, 2018, release.
