DEEPIKA NOT THE HEROINE IN PAANI

Soon after Shekhar Kapur praised Deepika Padukone for her performance in Goliyon ki Rasleela- Ram-Leela, speculations were rife that the filmmaker might approach her to play the lead in Paani. When contacted, Kapur said, "We are in negotiations with a young and well-known Hollywood actress, who will be cast opposite Sushant. So it is not Deepika who will be seen opposite him in the film." The film goes on floor by mid-2014. Oscar winning musician A.R. Rehman has been roped in to compose the music for the film.

Interesting. I wonder who the actress is...Freida Pinto? What other "Hollywood" actress would speak Hindi well enough to be the lead...? Kristen Stewart?? 😆

of course, Shekhar would go to HW for his actress. Typical.

@HZAnita: It can't be Freida Pinto. He wants a foreigner for the role. In fact there will be more actors from the west also in the cast, from what we know till now.

@JodhaBai: In this case its the demand of the script actually. That was the way he wrote the story. And I for one, am happy that he didn't change the script suddenly just so that he could justify taking a top actress like Deepika.

Oh, okay! I didn't know much about the movie except its revolving cast members! I wonder who the actress is. I hope she's truly popular and not some wannabe from Hollywood.😕

Wait till evening when Deepu is accused of using her PR once again to keep herself in news!😆
And all the Kat fans who were dissing Sushant over Fitoor will start liking him again, now that he isn't doing a film with the Witch of Narnia!😆
Btw, I rate Shekhar Kapoor very high as a director...his Masoom and Elizabeth are two of my favorite films! Looking forward to Paaani...the subject sounds interesting!

I knew it all along fitoor pani and window seat are going on floor same time . How can katrina or deepika do other project when there dates are completely locked. And anyways pani always wanted a Hollywood actress. Katrina could have fit the bill coz of her accent but its makers call.

Well on second thoughts . Who could have come up with that arical. Katrina was never approced for pani . Yesterday was first time in that artical I read katrina was approched. And tje artical was glorifying deepika and telling katrinas projects are getting delayed .she has only 2 movies etc etc .

Were as deepika being part of pani story is comming from many days . Now makers says they wantec a Hollywood actress.

So deepika was never choice all along .I mean who is doing this, its whose benefit . 😛
