Deepika Padukone

Rakesh Roshan has turned down OSO girl Deepika Padukone. The film, starring Hrithik Roshan could have been Deepika's ticket to the A-list in Bollywood.

Our sources, however, say that Deepika ws not suiatble for the role so she was shown the door.

When contacted Rakesh Roshan confirms that they are not going ahead with Deepika. He says, "I am in the process of working on a film which will be directed by Anurag Basu. We may work with Deepika for some other film."Anurag Basu, who is directing the film endorses, "We are yet scouting for the female lead."

As for Deepika, he says, "Deepika didn't fit the role. We'll definitely work with her in future for some other project. It's quite a complex character and we are looking out for a female lead."

After they dumped Deepika, Roshans are now looking at casting a non-Indian for the role. Says a source, "Filmkraft (Roshan's production house) and Anurag have been auditioning girls. The female lead needs to be a Salsa dancer."
The film is a romantic-action-thriller which will be shot abroad.

It is scheduled to go on the floors by March 2008. Apparently, the film is based on Latin dance forms and Hrithik will be seen performing a lot of salsa.

well deepika has been maintaining that she is doing only 2 films!

her 'made in china 'will be shot in China start to finish next year(both she and akki have started training)..Families will be allowed to visit the location..the stars cant visit India.

next month she shoots for yashraj films in Australia..

deepika is not a NON Indian salsa dancer who will be free to shoot in march!!!😆😆

But the new film to be directed by Anurag kashyap surely got some publicity😉😆.

P.S.though deepika has been saying that she is not doing Krrish 2..the media feels she is in "denial mode" and rakesh roshan has not denied THAT in print,in fact he remains noncom ital!!verry strange!!!

😆😆I know. Kashyap always gets good publicity.

I would have loved to see Deepika and Hrithik together as both are stunners but it is better that she doesn't do his home production. She will anyways be overshadowed and if SRK is also there then where is the place for anyone else😛.

Now let us see what Mr.Kashyap comes up with.
