She dazzled everyone together with her acting debut within the Shah Rukh Khan-starrer Om Shanti Om. And now, seven years later, Deepika Padukone is outwardly set to team up with SRK again in Chennai Express, produced by UTV Films. “Once back from Turkey (where she’s shooting Race 2), she is predicted to join up the dotted line. Deepika was always on our mind considering she is a large star now and likewise hasn’t teamed up with SRK since OSO. So it really works out well that we're coming back with OSO team,” says an insider.
Apparently, on the start, director Rohit Shetty had discussed the film with Kareena, but things didn’t materialise. Later, Kat was also believed to be within the fray.
“Don’t forget she is already working with SRK in Yashji’s (Chopra) film. Plus, her dates might have been a subject matter since she's going to soon start work on Dhoom 3,” adds the insider.
Shetty’s action-comedy is anticipated to hit the floors around October.
“By that time, Deepika would’ve wrapped up Race 2 and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani,” adds the insider.
Despite repeated attempts, Rohit couldn’t be reached. UTV’s Siddharth Roy Kapoor chose to not comment.
