Just when it was becoming tiring to hear every actor say what great friends they were with their co-stars, Bollywood actor Riteish Deshmukh has come up with something entirely new – he says he is very “fond” of his co-star Lara Dutta.

“My camaraderie with Lara is excellent and I am extremely fond of her. I have worked with her before; so I share a certain rapport with her,” Riteish told IANS in an interview.

“Do Knot Disturb” is his third film with the former beauty queen after “Bardaasht” and “Masti”.

“As colleagues it is important to have on-screen chemistry and when you are doing comedy it is important to have the right timing and everything. Both of us understand that.

“It’s great that there are times when we got a scene and we didn’t need to rehearse because I know exactly what Lara is going to do and she knows exactly what I’m going to do,” added the actor who is also doing Sajid Khan’s “Housefull” with the actress.

“Do Knot Disturb” also stars Govinda and Sushmita Sen and is slated to hit screens Oct 2.

The 30-year-old actor, who has emerged as a comic star after doing a series of comedies like “Masti”, “Dhamaal”, “Heyy Baby” and “Kyaa Kool Hai Hum” among others, revealed that his dream of working with Govinda was realised when he was offered this film.

“I always wanted to work with Govinda and David Dhawan. I’m glad that both these people came together in a single film.”

So was he insecure or nervous about working with the king of comedy?
