One questions if bringing old flames Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone back on screen for Karan Johar's 'Yeh Jawani Hai Deewani' was a tough nut to crack! But director Ayan Mukherjee says it was a smooth process as the two actors share an amicable equation.

'Actually it was very easy. I know that the media had written a lot about their break-up, but actually they have a very amicable equation and it was really smooth to put them together,' told Mukherjee.

The two actors dated each other for over a year, and split in 2009. So far they have done one film together - 'Bachna Ae Haseeno' in 2008. This will be their first movie after the dramatic break-up in 2009.

But Mukherjee of 'Wake Up Sid' fame is looking forward to bringing their sizzling chemistry on celluloid through the love story.

'It is a love story and I am really excited about my cast. I am hoping to start sometime around mid-January and hopefully will have the film ready sometime mid-next year (2012),' he added.

The title of the movie is inspired by the famous R.D. Burman song from the 1970s hit 'Jawani Deewani', and the director feels the title is apt and youthful.

'The title is from an old song but it's also a youthful title. I suppose it means the romance of being young and that is what it (the film) is about,' he told.

Deepika and Ranbir are ready to revive their lost love!

Deepika Padukone and Ranbir kapoor are true professionals. The ex flames are doing the whole thing possible to get back their lost chemistry. They are a regular visitor at director Ayan Mukherjee’s house.

Well, before you come to a conclusion, let us tell you they the two will be seen in Ayan’s next untitled film. And if news is to be believed, Ayan is trying his best to get back the two on track, in terms of their lost romance. The director is making every effort to make them comfortable with each other, before they proceed for the shooting of the movie.

But what’s astonishing is that the two ex love birds are not hesitant in meeting up with each other, that too frequently.

“They have now realized that a lot of the negativity was engineered and that none of them had a role to play in it. Both are now determined to be good friends which initially was the case before they started dating,” as a source is quoted as telling by a magazine.

Previously, news had Katrina Kaif in the picture along side Ranbir. But as things didn’t work out for both the actors, Deepika Padukone has taken Katrina’s place.
