Shahid Kapoor and Ileana D'Cruz, who are shooting for Phata Poster Nikla Hero, are apparently getting really friendly with each other these days. Not only do they get along famously on set but it seems that they are seen together off set as well.

When both single hotties started shooting fo Rajkumar Santoshi's new film, there was fun and banter all around. Shahid used to call Ileana 'Ranbir's gal.' It seems the fun took a turn for something more serious. Apparently both have been seen cosing up at a Bandra eatery, and Shahid spends a lot of time in the area, we hear.

"Shahid and Ileana are very fond of one another. They like each other's company. In fact, they were quite close even before they started working together in Santoshi's film," a source told TOI.

However, seeing Shahid's track record and his being hailed a commitment-phobe by industry insiders, we don't know if we can put a finger on this rumour as being a long-lasting relationship. Shahid has previously been in high-profile relationships with Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra but neither reached fruition. He has also been linked to Vidya Balan and Bipasha Basu. But sources say that this liaison is purely a rebound.
