Looks like the Almighty is pouring all kinds of goodies on Deepika Padukone this year. Having featured in hits like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, Chennai Express, the actress seems to be the attraction of all eyes in Goliyon Ki Rasleela Ram-Leela.
In between Deepika had wished herself to be paired with the industry’s sworn bachelor Salman Khan. God has been kind to her once again and fulfilled her wish too. The actress has been roped in to play the female lead opposite Salman Khan in Sooraj Barjatya’s upcoming film Bade Bhaiya.
Film circles are abuzz with the news that the director chose Deepika opposite Salman because he was looking for a traditional, beautiful and someone who looks great in desi clothes. Thankfully Deepika fits the requirement pretty well.
What is amazing is that it took Barjatya a lot of time to choose Deepika. One reason could be that the director was to helm a Salman Khan film after 15 years while the other could be that somehow Salman was not satisfied with the kind of names that was being put across. Other actresses who were preferred for the role include Ileana D'Cruz, Parineeti Chopra among others.
So, it seems that finally Salman recommended Deepika's name to the director because Salman wished to do a film with her even before her debut film Om Shanti Om.
