Film maker Aditya Chopra has signed actress Deepika Padukone instead of Katrina Kaif opposite Salman Khan in his next untitled film to be directed by Kabir Khan
As the saying goes “One man’s loss in the other man’s gain.” This seems to hold true for Deepika Padukone who seems to be gaining the most of the Salman-Katrina break-up. Supposedly, director Kabir Khan was very keen to work with actress Katrina Kaif and was considering her as the lead in his next project with Yash Raj Films. This was before Salman Khan was roped in for the film. However, Salman refused to work with Kaif and said he’d much prefer working with Deepika, reveals a source. Hence, it is believed, Aditya Chopra zeroed on Deepika and signed her on.
Actresses Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra were also considered for the role. Kareena was left out due to her past spat with YRF over the promos of Roadside Romeo(2008). Priyanka was dropped due to some issues she had will Salman and it is said that Chopra was skeptic whether she would want to work with the actor or not.
Birdie Tweets: Well Deepika! Are you avenging the loss of Ranbir Kapoor to Katrina Kaif by stepping into her shoes?
