Saqib and Huma will be seen together in the upcoming horror "Dobaara", which is a remake of the Hollywood film "Oculus".
"I wanted to work with Huma for a while but we both were waiting for good scripts. The scripts that will come to us will be very far and few.
"The kind of roles we will play in a film are limited - we can only play siblings or characters who are pitted against each other. There were not many films offered which required both of us," Saqib told PTI.
"This is the second or third script that came to us which wanted us to be in it. This was the only script which wanted us to play siblings. I felt this was an opportunity we both could explore and hence I was very kicked about it," the actor says.
While Saqib feels it's definitely a good comfort working with someone so close to him, in the growing up years both he and the "Jolly LLB 2" actress have always bullied each other.
"Dobaara", directed by Prawaal Raman, is scheduled to release on June 2.
