When Rajinikanth felt awkward romancing Deepika Padukone

While it’s not a new phenomenon to see heroes romance the co-actresses half their age on screen, Rajinikanth, who was seen romancing Aishwarya Rai in Robot, has reportedly shown his inhibitions for a love sequence with Deepika Padukone!

Well, Deepika Padukone and Rajinikanth will be seen in Kochadaiyaan, an upcoming 3D movie; and the two were shooting for a love song being choreographed by Saroj Khan. Saroj, who is known for choreographing some of the best romantic songs, apparently wanted a sizzling sequence between Rajini and Deepika.

However, Rajinikanth was apprehensive over getting close to Deepika and expressed his concerns to his daughter and director of Kochadaiyaan, Soundarya; he asked her to change the scenes since he was not really comfortable shooting them!

Guess who came to the rescue then - Deepika Padukone! She went to Rajinikanth and apparently had a chat with him and asked him to shoot the song the way it has been choreographed! She even made sure that Rajini was comfortable while filming the song!

Do you think Rajinikanth’s inhibitions were justified considering he is 62 and Deepika is just 26? Or you think he should have been professional and shot the song without a hitch? Drop your comments!
