After a dream debut with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Om Shanti Om , Deepika Padukone appears set to storm the south with a possible role opposite Tamil superstar Rajnikant in the big budget film Robot .
Deepa's name is "on the top of the list of contenders for heroine" in the Rs 100-crore venture by director Shankar , sources in the film production unit here said.

Shankar, who directed last year's runaway hit ' Sivaji - The Boss' also starring Rajnikant, has already teamed up with the style icon and renowned music composer A R Rahman .
The 22-year-old model-turned-actress has received the Star Screen award for "most promising newcomer" and Stardust "Superstar of Tomorrow"" award.
Going by the mantra that actresses make a dent in Kollywood after starring opposite Rajnikant or Kamal Haasan , the media began the buzz about Deepika acting in "Robot".
The speculation earlier was that SRK would play the lead in the film, to be made in Tamil, Telugu and Hindi, before Shankar succeeded in getting the Tamil matinee idol to agree.
