Summary Rajinikanth reportedly keen to do his next with the Bangalore beaut.
Kat was apparently aggressively campaigning to bag Soundarya Rajinikanths Kochadaiyaan. However, Deepika has bagged the coveted role opposite the legend-Rajinikanth. One knows that Deepika was already on set romancing Rajini for his Rana when the Tamil superstar took ill in April 2011. Since Rana has been put on the backburner, Soundarya decided to go ahead with Kochadaiyaan. And very soon, all the big Bollywood beauties were sending out feelers.Soundaryas team was in talks with Kat. However, we learnt from our sources that despite best efforts Kat couldnt match the dates. On Monday night, we learnt that Deepika has ousted Kat to bag the lead in this much-talked-about project. It is being said that Rajinikanth was very keen to do his next, be it Kochadaiyaan or Rana, with Deepika only.Confirming the news to Chennai Times, Deepika says, I am delighted to work with Rajini sir again. He is perhaps the biggest star that our country has seen and to play his heroine is truly an honour. For me, the most heartening fact is that his health is now better. I am so looking forward to shoot with him.Looks like Dippy is all set for a double whammy with the Superstar
