Telugu cinema history’s biggest mega hit Arundhati is all set to be made into Hindi now by its original makers. Recently news was out that the makers had approached Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi actress Anushka Sharma but the deal couldn’t get through since she was still tied up under her mentors Yash Raj three film contract. Now the makers, it is learnt have moved toward Deepika Padukone for the same role.



Sources disclose, “After Anushka Sharma another name being considered was the name of the original heroine from the Telugu blockbuster hit whose name is also Anushka. But then considering the fact that she is still an unknown face in Bollywood they decided to go for a more popular young actress in Bollywood who doesn’t have a set image and the Om Shanti Om girl’s name cropped up. The discussions are on but nothing has been finalized as of yet though.”

But another industry insider says, “With Sonu Sood more or less finalized in the most powerful male character’s role in the movie it seems less likely that Deepika would agree to be a part of the movie. Considering the fact that he is still not a Bollywood A list star, Deepika might have her apprehensions in working in such a project. While the makers chose to remain obstinate on their choice of Sonu Sood (he also played the main villain in the Telugu original) it won’t be easy for them to find a big heroine for their ambitious project.”

We just wish for Deepika’s success if she agrees to do the movie.
