Deepika Padukone has transformed her look. She will be seen riding a bicycle in a saree in her next film Khelenge Hum Jee Jaan Se. The actress is usually seen in in bikinis and short dresses, but since she plays freedom fighter Kalpana Dutta in the film set in pre-Independence India, she will be seen in Bengal cotton sarees. Neeta Lulla has designed her sarees for the Ashutosh Gowariker film.

Kalpana Dutta played a key role in the Chittagong Uprising of 1930. The film is based on the book Do And Die, written by Kalpana's daughter-in-law Manini Chatterjee.

Abhishek Bachchan is cast opposite Deepika. Abhishek plays Surya Sen . The movie is being shot at Goa and Mumbai and is slated to release on December 3.
