There are rumours doing the rounds that Aanand L Rai has approached Deepika Padukone to play the female lead opposite Shah Rukh Khan in his upcoming untitled film, where the superstar plays the role of a dwarf.
Deepika, who made her debut in SRK’s Om Shanti Om, went on to do films like Chennai Express and Happy New Year. All their films together have been hugely successful worldwide.
DNA India quoted a source saying Aanand had discussed the film with Deepika and she agreed to be a part film. However, while the makers were unwilling to confirm Deepika’s presence, reliable industry insiders say, the actress hasn’t yet signed the film.
Shah Rukh will start shooting for his upcoming film with Imtiaz Ali in October this year. The film romantic film stars Anushka Sharma in the lead.
The actress was earlier quoted as saying “I am excited that this is an out-and-out romantic film after Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Jab Tak Hai Jaan. Working with Imitiaz is a big deal. I thought of becoming an actor after I saw his Jab We Met. Imtiaz’s films have such strong female characters and that thought was ignited in my mind. When I am having readings with him for this film, I can sense that he is a sensitive and insightful director”
SRK’s other films include Dear Zindagi in November 2016 and Raees in January 2017. Deepika will be seen in the Hollywood film ‘XXX: Return of Xander Cage’ and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati.
Note: This article should be considered a rumour until there is an official confirmation from the makers of the film or the actors themselves.

If Deepika is cast opposite him then 280cr+ confirmed otherwise he is same lvl as AKKI :P :P
@Gobarholic – 2:03 pm
Yeah right DP helped SRK to enter the 200 cr club but sadly she failed to carry our Gobar Kumar to the 120 cr club ….!
She ended up rescuing Gobar Kumar from the famous 60 cr club though …!
NO, Dont Cast Deepika
Cast PRIYANKA(even ANUSHKA or KANGANA).
Very excited for RAESS & for this movier.
Release this movie on XMAS 2017. Just bcoz of Success
SLB is booking the festivals like AAMIR & SALMAN.
DILWALE was SRKs Worst movie & BAJIRAO-MASTANI story is popular in MAHARASHTRA,
hence BM defeated DILWALE.
If SRK would have released RAESS on last XMAS,
then the collection would be
RAEES 225+ &
BM-80-100.
Superb! If Deepika comes in, this film just can’t get any bigger.
A Universally appealing genre with commercial elements + Deepika + Shahrukh= Blast at the BO
250 cr minimum
Hope Imtiaz Ali film also shapes the same way.
Salman bis not the top star of 90s. Kuch Kuch Hota hai is not his film, morever the collection of HDDS was first reported to be 17 crore, later updated to 21 crore.
In 2007 Om shanti om was declared an ATHG in 2007

by all trade sites but later figures were reduced, god knows how
Heroines whose career started with SRK
1. Deepika(debut movie)-No.1 heroine. SRK’s production company RCE launched her
2. Anushka- Top list today
3. Preity-Dil Se, She was the queen in early 2000s
4. Rani(2nd release, 1st commercial suceess in KKHH)
5. Kajol-1st commercial sucess in Baazigar
6. Shilpa shetty-Always in limelight, debut in Baazigar
7. Suchitra Krishnamurty-KHKN, She stopeed doing films
8. Gayatri Joshi-She didnt choose to work in Bollywood
Meanwhile our Lallu’s heroine do movies like Hate Story 3. Bhagyashree, Ash duplicate chose not to further carry film carrer
Some bhaifans barking after 90s article about Kuch Kuch Hota hai being Sallu film and making him no. 1.
what?? Excluding KKHH Sallu will have more what?
You talking about big hits in 90s. Alright lets talk from SRK’s debut year 1992
Films of SRK to be in top 5 since 1992 to 1999
Deewana, daar, baazigar, ddlj, karan arjun. Dtph, pardesh, kkhh
salman-hahk, karan arjun, jeet, hssh, hdds, bn1
record holders Day 1 openers of SRK in 90s
1. Karan arjun
2. Trimurti-for 2 years held the record
3. Koyla- broke day 1 record of trimurti
Salman
1. Karan arjun
2. Biwi no. 1(soon equallised within a few months by Hindustaan ki kasam)
Overseas blockbusters in 90s
SRK-darr, ddlj, kkhh, pardesh, dtph
sallu-hahk, khamosi
And ddlj had lesser screens, unpopular heroine unlike Madhuri(Kajol had 1 hit then in Baazigar, her role in Karan arjun was ornamental). Morever DDLJ faced black ticketing issues and it had 9 songs lesser than Shaadi ki DVD hahk
still it broke Hahk worldwide and was very close to it in Domestic
Bhai’s ATBB hahk opened to few lakhs, SRKs flop Trimurti, Koyla were record openers, and u call your bhai bigger star in 90s?
In 90s madhuri could make a entire movie BB by her own. Beta, khalnayak, tezaab, saajan…all other anil kapoor and sanjay dutt movies went unnoticed, Kajol was not that heroine then
over and out SRK ruled out Sallu in 90s
what?? Excluding KKHH Sallu will have more what?

@AAMIR-THE MEGASTAR
Thanks bro, good to hear it from Aamir fab
looking fwd seems promising
@Ram : SRK had revealed some interesting thing about DDLJ which is connected to Salman Khan on the occassion of 20th anniversary of DDLJ in Comedy Nights with Kapil (Which is no longer on air now – You may YouTube and check). Even Yash ji and SRK were not confident about DDLJ after watching premier show except one person who told SRK that DDLJ will be bigger than MPK and that lone person is Salman Khan. Accepted and revealed by your own idol, now cry over him and call him a liar or natak baaz. Will you ?
It is a fact that Deepika without SRK has reached 180 crs twice and SRK without Deepika is yet to cross 150 crs Though SRK introduced Deepika in Bollywood.
@xzone : At least Zarine and Daisy trying some thing and getting some work what about Gayatri Joshi (Swades), Anjali Jathar (Trimurti) do you even know what happened to them after these movies? You mean you will snatch the credit only if actresses become successful and do not remember the actresses who were lost forever after working with over actor. Even Ramesh Sippy (Sholay director) stopped directing movies after SRK gave him epic debacle Zamana Deewana. Oh ! You remeber only glories and not failure but when comes to Salman you remember only his failures. Double standard policy !!!!!!!!!!!
@Indicine, why do you start this foolish campaign against SRK ? “All their films together have been hugely successful worldwide” – What do you mean by this? Do you guys expect a film that portrays the lead star as a dwarf will be a commercially successful film? Down the line why have you guys just made cinema = money? Appreciate the hard work some actors (SRK, Amir) are trying to put in at this stage of their career instead of doing nonsense but commercially successful movie. Thanks.
What the hell.is this…concentrate on building powerful story….ignore these kind of silly matters…In india there are lot of talented actress available…
Eagerly waiting for this movie… SRK-ALR combo will be blockbuster… I guess both Deepika & Katrina are in this movie… Intresting to watch SRK’s another classic performance as a drawf…
Please cast someone new
Srk n katsina romantic
This oldie should retire now. Ha ha ha. Just heard some rumors that our so called king has again postponed his RUNnees by fear of hrithik’s kaabil. Ha ha Ha. Now he again needs Deepika Padukone to revive his career much like 2013’s CE.
Imtiaz Ali begin shooting in mid August. not in October this rumors are wrong ®®©
@Greek Beggar Fan Forever-Despite being almost 10 years younger Jadoo Boy looks like a beggar infront of SRK. I feel like puking on him whenever I see Mohenjo Jadoo trailer. Jadoo boy needs to depend on Kangana Ranaut to stay relevant these days after his cult classic Bang Bang failed to catapault him to megastardom without the help of Papa. I wonder when he will ever get the megastar tag in his lifetime now that his Jadoo film is clashing with Akki. And not to mention Jadoo boy is a huge fan of SRK and hence he never won a clash with the King of Clashes and can never imagine too in his lifetime !!
@hrithik-SRK hasn’t taken the responsibility of launching all the ‘to-be’ successful actresses in the world. Let Lallu deliver at least 3-4 super successful actresses like SRK did, then come to argue on the topic. And talking about Ramesh Sippy, Zamana Deewana was a worsely directed film than HNY, if Sippy Sahab can’t direct better than Farah Khan in a film, it’s high time he retired. At least SRK launched directors as successful as Adi Chopra, Karan Johar and made films as good as Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om with debut Farah KHan. Let Lallu match that classs and talent that SRK has and then show the audacity to argue about him.
Oh comeon @hritik, u barking about such matters.
Lol, its a formality to be done. Even Salman had thanked SRK for unveiling Bajrangi Bhaaijan’s first look.
If you cant give logic, at least be sensible bro. Now u are seriously crediting DDLJ to Salman
Well, even Aamir praised Sultan, so will u even credit Sultan to Aamir

And yes, Salman made his debut 4 years earlier than SRK, so he respected a guy whom he thinks of his own brother, but that doesnt mean that where SRK is it is all due to Salman, does it?
@Ram : If you do not have the guts to accept the fact revealed by your own idol (SRK) I do not expect you to take my reply sensibly. And it shows by your choice of words, I though you may be decent guy but you proved me wrong. No matter how much you spout you cannot change the reality or are you trying to prove your idol is a nautanki and crating his own stories for publicity using Salman’s name. Get a life you moron !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Nangaa Naach aka NN : Why are you replying on behalf of someone. Have you taken thekaa of all SRK fans? WTH are you to reply to my comment when it is address to some one else and not you ? Gone insane due to frustrations after losing to kiddo Ranveer and disaster FAN ? If you say SRK has not take responsibility of all actresses then how come SRK fans expect Salman to take all responsibility of his heroines ?? Double standard creatures !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@hrithik :
SRK lost to Ranveer …? Where …? In Court , or in Lalluland …?
Domestic : Dilwale BM
Worldwide : Dilwale > BM
Now shut up coz u seriously don’t know losing is . Losing is when a newcomer (like Ranbir) destroys so-called superstar’s (Bhai’s) movie …!
@hrithik-The topic was about SRK and doesn’t matter whether I or xzone or any other SRK fan replies it. No, we are not asking Lallu to take all the responsibility of all the actressses, we are expecting that Lallu give at least 3 or 4 supersuccessful actress like SRK did, otherwise how come he is a so-called megastar(newly born though) who can’t benifit any of his actresses!!!
@hritik
choices of words? Yup choices of words like raped woman, loongiwaala, bakrapur, nautanki, etc are very decent. And why are u bringing such thankfullness job among Stats. By the way which rubbish word did i use?Dude if u do not have a damn reply, at least come to the point. Okay I accept Salman had assured DDLJ will be a big hit, but does that mean u will credit everything to Salman?
