Deepika Padukone may be juggling many meaty projects currently, including one with megastar Rajinikanth, but the possibility of her returning to Race 2 hasn’t been ruled out completely. It seems producer Ramesh Taurani is willing to let bygones be bygones and have Dippy back onboard.
Just a few months ago, the two had a bitter spat when Ramesh even went to the extent of calling her “unprofessional” and “unethical” after Deepika walked out of the film saying she had already “wasted” four months waiting for it to go on floors and that she can’t wait any longer. Ramesh had even filed a case against her at that time in the Association of Motion Pictures & T.V. Programme Producers (AMPTPP) and Cine & TV Artistes Association (CINTAA).
“Some say he wanted her to compensate for the losses he had incurred with her walking out of Race 2, but actually he wants these associations to persuade her to get back in the film,” says a source.
Ramesh, however, seems prepared for any kind of eventuality. “The verdict could swing in anybody’s favour. And if it goes in our favour, she will return but we will only get to know in a week’s time,” says the producer.
In the meanwhile, not wanting any further delay, he has already started shooting portions of the film. He says, “We have begun shooting with the other actors and the next schedule is supposed to begin in April.”
Will it be with or without Deepika? Watch this space.
