New Delhi:
Actress Deepika Padukone is undoubtedly at the top of game with a string of successful films like Piku, Finding Fanny and Happy New Year. And now the actress may add another gigantic hit to her body of work.
Filmmaker Shankar has reportedly approached the Cocktail star for a role opposite Rajinikanth in the sequel of his 2010 film Robot (Enthiran in Tamil).
Deepika has previously worked with Rajinikanth in his daughter Soundarya R Ashwin's debut film (as director) Kochadaiiyaan. However, the film used photo-realistic motion capture technology.
Robot, which featured Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the lead role, was the top-earning Indian film that year beating Shah Rukh Khan's My Name Is Khan and Salman Khan's Dabangg. It's record for the highest grossing South film of all time was broken by SS Rajamouli's Baahubali - The Beginning, this year.
Meanwhile, Deepika, who has reportedly doubled her fee after her current successes, has also become rather picky about the films she signs.
Rumours suggest that Yash Raj Films head Aditya Chopra wanted Deepika in his film Victor starring Hrithik Roshan and which will be directed by Dhoom: 3 famed Vijay Krishna Acharya. However, Deepika turned down the offer since she didn't fancy her role in the film.
Deepika has previously worked with YRF's Bachna Ae Haseeno, also starring Ranbir Kapoor, Minissha Lamba and Bipasha Basu.
Busy Ms Padukone will be next seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Bajirao Mastani along with Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra. Further, she is busy working on Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha co-starring Ranbir.
