Fans as we have been reporting for sometime now, Deepika Padukone was in talks with Chimbudevan for his magnum opus with Ilayathalapathy Vijay. Earlier reports had it that the actress had indeed given the nod to play the female lead but the latest report is that the Bollywood beauty has opted out due to date issues.


The buzz is that Shruti Haasan has been approached and will reprise the Deepika Padukone's role in the film, It's worth mentioning that Priyanka Chopra was also considered for the female lead but she too dropped out due to date issues. Actress Sridevi who made a comeback in English Vinglish has however been bowled over by the script and agreed to be part of this fantasy film.
