The latest buzz doing the rounds is that Rakesh Roshan is planning to cast Deepika Padukone opposite Hrithik in Krrish 2. If all goes well, Deepika will be playing the lead actress opposite Hrithik. Earlier, the roles were portrayed by Preity Zinta and Priyanka Chopra in Koi Mil Gaya and Krrish respectively.

If sources are to be believed, Rakesh Roshan is in talks with the Om Shanti Om actress as he is keen that she be a part of the film.

Although Rakesh Roshan didn’t confirm the news he didn’t deny it either. He says, “Currently I am busy working on two scripts simultaneously ––Krazzy 4 and Krrish 2. If Deepika suits the role I will definitely consider working with her. But, I cannot let you know much at this point because nothing is finalised yet. I will talk about it when the time is right.”

However sources say, “Priyanka was not appreciated for her performance and looks in Krrish. The Roshans wouldn’t like to sign her again. And now, after Om Shanti Om’s success, Deepika seems to be the best choice.”
