After endless speculation as to who will be the leading lady in Shah Rukh Khan's home production, 'Happy New Year', we hear his 'Chennai Express' heroine Deepika Padukone is the final choice. The film, directed by Farah Khan, is slated to go on floors in September 2014.
A lot of speculation happened because several contestants who were vying for the role, kept giving out unofficial, 'I'm the chosen one' stories at regular intervals. Though Deepika was always the front-runner, she remained silent because her dates were being worked out. Even now, she has refrained from commenting.
Deepika shares a special relationship with Farah and SRK. They are the ones who were instrumental in giving Dippy her big break with Om Shanti Om (2007), a film that holds the record of being one of the highest grossers overseas.
P.S. Deepika is also likely to start shooting for Imtiaz Ali's film with Ranbir Kapoor in January 2014.
Padukone made her acting debut with the 2006 Kannada film Aishwarya. The following year, she played the lead female role in the reincarnation melodrama Om Shanti Om; the film proved a major commercial success and earned her the Filmfare Award for Best Female Debut.
She was later noted for portraying modern, independent women in several commercially successful films, including the 2009 romance Love Aaj Kal, the 2010 comedy Housefull, the 2012 romantic comedy Cocktail and the 2013 coming-of-age film Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (the third highest-grossing Bollywood film of all time).
Padukone's performance in Cocktail earned her unanimous critical appreciation and Best Actress nominations at several award ceremonies (including Filmfare). She has thus established herself as a leading contemporary actress of Hindi cinema.[5] Her personal life has been the subject of fervent tabloid reporting in the Indian media.
