Not doing Shankar's film: Deepika Padukone

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone says she is not part of southern filmmaker Shankar's next film.

Denying rumours that she might star in the director's movie opposite southern actor Vikram, Deepika told IANS: "I got a Google alert about it, but they are all rumours. I am not doing Shankar's film."

Produced by Aascar Ravichandran, Shankar's film features Amy Jackson opposite Vikram, who was seen with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Mani Ratnam's "Raavan". The music of the film is being composed by A.R. Rahman.

Nevertheless, Deepika will be doing another southern film "Kochadaiyaan" with legendary actor Rajinikanth.
