Rohit Shetty ropes in Deepika, SRK for his film

Mumbai: Who will be the lucky lady, that seems to be the question. Rohit Shetty who is scheduled to start his Shah Rukh Khan starrer in August this year is spoilt for choice – whether to cast Deepika Padukone or Katrina Kaif opposite the actor. While some sources confirm that Kat has been finalised for the role, some indicate that it is Deepika who has clinched the part. Our first source says, "In principle, Katrina has confirmed to act in the film, though the paperwork is yet to be completed. But that's nothing to worry about."

However, a friend of the actress insists that she's not doing the film. The friend says, "Katrina is already committed to Vijay Krishna Acharya's racy thriller franchisee. She can't possibly have dates for Rohit's film."

Our other source maintains, "Deepika Padukone is 'more or less confirmed'. The paperwork is pending until the dates are chalked out. Once that's done, the film's makers will make an official announcement."
