Model-turned-actress Deepika Padukone is getting plum offers from Bollywood at the very start of her career.
Deepika will make her debut opposite none other than Shah Rukh Khan in Farah Khan’s movie Om Shanti Om It is a dream project any newcomer could ask for.
Even though there are many months for ‘Om Shanti Om’ to hit the theatres, Deepika has got a big movie offer from Boney Kapoor
Boney is producing the Hindi remake of Telugu hit Pokkiri . The film will have Salman Khan essaying the lead role.
It is learnt that Boney approached Deepika to play Salman’s heroine in the film and she expressed some interest. There were also plans to hold a special screening of ‘Pokkiri’ so that Deepika could get a taste of her role in the film.
However, Deepika politely declined the offer to do the movie because she is contractually bound by Red Chillies Entertainment and cannot sign any other film until ‘Om Shanti Om’ releases.
Sources say Deepika had no problem about working with Salman. She bowed out solely because of the contract.
In the meantime, Boney Kapoor is learnt to have zeroed on two new girls. An announcement will most likely be made in the coming days about Salman’s heroine in the film.
