Deepika to act opposite Rajinikanth

It’s a lifetime opportunity to get an offer to play a lead role opposite the south superstar, Rajinikanth. Deepika Padukone who has kick started her career few years back is fortunate to get an offer from the south filmmaker. But the biggest hassle in the way is dates. Her diary is almost packed with films  with top-notch actors and filmmakers but at the same time rejecting Rajini was also at all acceptable to Deepika as she is a huge fan of the superstar.

She is now trying to adjust her dates. A source said, "Deepika has been offered the film and a meeting with its producers also went off well. The film has Rajinikanth in a double role. The makers felt that Deepika was perfect for the lead role and that she would fit the character very well.

Unfortunately, the producers of the film want to take it on floors this year and Deepika has her hands full with Aarakshan, Desi Boys and a new film with Saif Ali Khan to be directed by Homi Adajania apart from a few other projects.

Now she is trying hard to adjust her dates so she doesn't miss out on a once in a lifetime opportunity to work with Rajnikanth."

When contacted, Deepika Padukone said, "I am really honoured to be approached to act with Rajnikanth."

The actress's spokesperson however was quick to add, "We have been approached but it is too early to talk about it. We need to work on dates as many films are in combination with a lot of senior actors . It is not an easy decision. Of course we would like to be part of Rajnikanth's film. It is a huge honour."
