Deepika replaces Kareena in Chennai Express!

If all goes well, Deepika might be Shah Rukh Khan's co-passenger in the Rohit Shetty directed journey

The collaboration of Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty made Chennai Express one of the 'hottest' films to watch out for. After a short period of indecision regarding the casting of either Katrina Kaif or Kareena Kapoor as the leading lady in the film, SRK's RA.One heroine and Rohit's favourite, Bebo had emerged victorious.

In fact, the actress had even said in an interview, "Rohit and I are finalising the script and other details. Rohit is like family, and I am seriously looking forward to working with him again." However, her enthusiasm regarding the project has been rather short-lived. Mumbai Mirror has learnt that Kareena, once happy to be a part of the project, has excused herself from it. Reason: the generic 'date problems'.

Meanwhile, Deepika Padukone, who has recently been in the news for leaving Race 2 producer Ramesh Taurani in a mess by walking out of the project midway, has been asked to come on board Chennai Express.

A friend of Kareena, confirmed that the actress is no longer a part of the film and added, "Kareena has already informed Rohit Shetty that she wouldn't be able to work in Chennai Express. SRK is aware of it as well."

As for Deepika's inclusion in the Rohit Shetty film, a source close to the project said, "Deepika has given her nod of consent. The official signing should happen soon."

So umm who's PR is on overdrive? Asin or Deepika's?

I find Asin to be simply boring on screen. Deepika is okay and sometimes just downright terrible.

I am not looking forward to this movie anyways so I guess I could care less? Though Asin-SRK would be somethign new.. =S

But thank god for no Kareena-SRK bhai behen ki jodi.

hmmm so They r also considering Deepika for CE

here is a some part of Sunjay Gupta's interview abt Viviek where he talked abt Asin too who claimed she was approached for Shotout at Wadala , talks were going on when suddenly they stopped it... something like this

and Sunjay's reply abt it ...

So i m really confused if Asin is really doing Chennai Express or its her PR already making statements 😆

Clearing the air on all controversies, Gupta told Mumbai Mirror, "Vivek Oberoi is a joke which is not even funny anymore but his ridiculous statements make me laugh. I think he is the Prince of Ghaziabad who will get his KLPD. And Asin is being silly about the whole thing. She should know where to stop."

The spokesperson of White Feather Films, Gary Van Shipley said, "Asin is not even in the league of Deepika, Priyanka or Sonam that one would get publicity out of her. I have never spoken or met her. Where is the question of me offering the film? The lesser said the better about Vivek as we all know what he can do to get cheap publicity."
