Riteish-Genelia's marriage and TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA release predetermined?

Even though Riteish Deshmukh as well as Genelia D'Souza have done quite a few films individually since they made their big screen debut with TUJHE MERI KASAM (2003), they only did one more film together- MASTI. There were countless offers that came the way of this real life 'jodi' but for reasons known to them, they politely declined them all. However they changed their tune with TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA, hence indicating that it was pretty much a package affair that was designed to announce their togetherness as a real and reel life couple.

Says a source, ''In fact it was hardly surprising when the two announced that they were tying the knot since there was nothing hidden about them being a couple. However the fact that they also decided to work together in TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA and then release it in the same month with their wedding can hardly be termed as a coincidence.''

CHECK OUT: Riteish- Genelia is a better actor than me

When contacted, Riteish had his own reasoning to share. He said, ''You know what, when the film was offered to me in April last year, the original plan was to begin it's shooting around December. Since I was free then for about 40-50 days, I suggested that we use that time and start shooting earlier. Somehow Genelia too managed her dates and all credit to the makers that they pushed themselves for the early start of the film. Thanks to their cooperation we managed to wrap it up early. Otherwise as we talk, the shooting would still have been on. Guess this film had its own destiny,'' says Riteish with a straight face.

Well, here is wishing the love birds a great future ahead and hoping that the double bill indeed pays off for Riteish and Genelia this season once TERE NAAL LOVE HO GAYA releases all over on 24th February.
