[All in one] Will Rohit Shetty cast Deepika Padukone opposite SRK in ‘Chennai Express’?

Anticipations are high as to who would play the female lead in director Rohit Shetty's forthcoming project 'Chennai Express'. The director has rubbished the rumors of Kareena being the lead saying, "I have not really (approached Kareena Kapoor), she knows what I am making. I might do something else with Kareena. Just wait for ten days and then everyone will come to know who it is. In ten days time, we will announce our heroine."
Shahrukh Khan has been signed for the male lead and speculations are rife that Shetty is considering Deepika Padukone opposite King Khan. Unlike his previous eight films, Ajay Devgan is not a part of his cast.
'Chennai Express' will go on floors from the end of September and release would happen mid-next year. The movie relates the tale of a man who travels from Mumbai to Rameshwaram and what happens during the journey, is what the film is about.
"It is not totally a train journey film, it is something else as well and there is a reason why the name of the film is 'Chennai Express'. Like only 15-20 minutes of the film is in the train, it is not like where the whole film is happening inside the train. I can't talk much about the film as it is too early," Shetty said.
