Is Anushka’s loss Deepika’s gain?

[1]

A good script, a director with the Midas touch and a perfectionist actor — P.K. is touted as a hit even before it has gone on the floors. But looks like the leading lady of the film, Anushka Sharma, may have to pay a big price for resting her loyalties with director Raju Hirani and co-star Aamir Khan.

The actress, who had also committed to Imtiaz Ali’s next with Ranbir Kapoor, might need to opt out of it as her dates have gone awry.
Due to the delay in Aamir’s Dhoom 3, he won’t be able to start P.K. on time. As a result, Anushka’s dates have got pushed further and are now clashing with Imtiaz’s film. Our source says, “Both films are very close to Anushka. But P.K. is her dream project and despite the delay she’d rather be a part of Aamir’s film.” The buzz doing the rounds is that Deepika Padukone stands a good chance of replacing Anushka opposite Ranbir. Sources say that by the time film goes on the floors, early next year, Deepika will have cleared her back log of shoots. Hence, she is currently the best choice.
Lady luck surely seems to be smiling on Dippy!
