Rohit Shetty is surprised by the buzz caused by the female lead for his next movie 'Chennai Express' starring Shah Rukh Khan, the director has gone public on his stand and confirms that he hasn't approached any of the heroines that are currently in the news. He says that these rumors are baseless and should be rubbished on the first hand.
Earlier the news was that Kareena Kapoor was first one to break the news that she wont be doing the movie as she has issues with her dates, as she will be doing a Sanjay Leela Bhansali movie opposite Ranveer Singh around the same period. Reacting to this Rohit says "Though I have often mentioned that Kareena is my favourite actress and that I would love to have her in the film, the fact is that we haven't approached her nor have we finalised any other actress. We will finalise that by April. In fact, I haven't met Kareena for nearly five months now."
The immediate news was that Asin Thottumkal will be replacing Kareena in the movie and she had once in an interview confirmed that she did sign up for the movie. But to this Rohit says "I am currently shooting for Bol Bachchan in Panchgani, and my sister sends me all the story clippings of the actresses we have presumably signed. Every day, I hear a new name. Even Shah Rukh is as confused as I am!"
Finally it was Deepika Padukone who was to be the lady love of Shah Rukh Khan in the movie and there were strong news that she will be doing the movie. This has finally become the breaking point for the director and he says "I got a call from someone a while ago asking if I had signed Deepika. I want to tell people to please stop this circus! I have a film to complete right now, so I want to focus on that. Till I return from Panchgani, I won't approach anyone. I don't know where these rumours are coming from. In all probability, none of these actresses will be signed for the role. But yes, this is a performance-oriented role and we need a beautiful face, so we will definitely sign an established name."
So ladies, since the top three are out, who else want to get a go at this?
