She gave audition for the movie in February 2012 (Not for the 5 minutes cameo, but for one of the lead roles). & was rejected. 😆 Even her ex-boyfriend Siddhartha Mallya was there to give an audition for some other HW project.

Deepika Padukone, whose image took something of a beating lately after she allegedly walked out of Race 2 despite having shot a substantial chunk of the film and without so much as seeking the permission of the film's producer, Ramesh Taurani, has now reportedly adjusted her dates and will complete the film. Turns out it was Deepika's good friend Karan Johar who intervened and resolved the differences between the actress and the producer. Despite blasting each other in the press and calling each other names, the doe-eyed actress and veteran producer have arrived at a truce.
There's also some talk that Deepika's Race 2 co-stars, Saif Ali Khan and John Abraham, were upset over the way she was holding the film ransom. In fact, John reportedly gave her a cold shoulder when they met at a wedding recently. Deepika's side, meanwhile, has blamed Saif for delaying the film and then leaving her to re-adjust her diary accordingly.
The actress, who's just got back from Los Angeles, was apparently one of four Indian leading ladies who were invited to audition for a major American film. Sonam Kapoor was another actress who reportedly got the call, but didn't bother to make the trek to LA. 😆 In the end, it appears the studio opted for a Latino leading lady, leaving Deepika's and the other Bollywood actresses' Hollywood dreams incomplete.
