EVEN as Varun Dhawan is set to star in ace director Shoojit Sircar's next film, October', the big story is who the heroine is. We hear Deepika Padukone has approached Sircar, and is keen to work with him on this film. The film is a rom-com and will clearly have Dhawan pulling off his famous hijinks, while Padukone will not have the meaty parts that she is used to. But she considers Piku' to be one of the finest films she has done, and wants another film with Sircar. The filmmaker is clearly in an enviable spot, since Padukone is so busy with Sanjay Leela Bhansali's upcoming film, she's barely reading other scripts. Top that with the fact that the sequel to Vin Diesel's xXx' has been announced, and no one's mentioned Padukone's name yet. Since the first one was a forgettable blip on her career graph, she may as well bask in the sunshine of her homeland.
