Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan has a new addition to its cast. Peepingmoon.com has learned that Deepika Padukone has joined the Atlee Kumar-directed explosive action thriller for a small but significant role. She makes a cameo appearance in the film and will shoot for her sequence during the film’s Hyderabad schedule after finishing Nag Ashwin’s Project K with Prabhas.
"Deepika Padukone has a powerful character in Jawan, which features Shah Rukh in a double role as a father and son. She plays SRK’s wife and features in the film’s flashback sequences. It's a short but very important role, which acts as a key differentiator to the plot," a source close to the project revealed to us, adding that Deepika is paired opposite SRK the father, while Nayanthara has a romantic angle with the junior SRK. The makers had apparently first offered this role to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan as they wanted to bring back the Devdas jodi on screen, but the latter refused the part. The Guru actress didn’t see much scope for her character and amicably passed on the offer, expressing a desire to collaborate with SRK on a different film later, which will have her in a full-fledged role alongside SRK.
