Shahid Kapoor doesn't want to take any 'Chance'. He's ensuring that only Hrithik Roshan's ex make up man, James, touches up his six pack abs, whenever he's required to film "body shots."

Apparently, SK believes that it was courtesy James, that Hrithik looked like a dashing dude in 'Dhoom2' and is hoping his brushes will work the same magic for him! Meanwhile, Kapoor's greasepaint man, Srikanth, has been relegated to being a mere observer.

Close insiders, however, have also observed a new "friendship" between Deepika Padukone and Shahid Kapoor. Tongues are wagging furiously, since SK's car is often seen parked outside Padukone's building.

Kapoor's romantic link with Priyanka Chopra has allegedly hit Splitsville… and his gorgeous neighbour seems to have moved on in life. Ditto DP, who's not letting Ranbir rankle her any further. Besides, the duo of sexy singletons: SK and DP are keen to be cast together for a forthcoming flick. Two much, too soon.
