‘I’m very keen to work with superstars’

MUMBAI, DEC 24 -
After acting with popular actors like Akshay Kumar, Saif Ali Khan, Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh, Deepika Padukone now wants to work with other superstars—Salman Khan, Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan.

“I hope in the next one or two years I will get to work with Hrithik, Salman and Aamir,” Deepika, who has given four back-to-back hits this year, told reporters here at a party.

There are reports that Deepika has been roped in opposite Salman in Sooraj Barjatya’s next, but she denied this and said: “That’s not true and I have not officially met Sooraj ji.” It’s not just Deepika who is eager to work with Salman. In fact, the Bigg Boss host has also expressed his desire to work with the actress and has been seen praising her on many occasions.

“It definitely feels great when Salman says such good things about me because you all know he was the one who first noticed me,” said Deepika, who made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh in the 2007 film Om Shanti Om. “I was doing an ad with his friends in Rajasthan. So, he saw me and he was the one who offered me my first film,” she recalled.

This was during Deepika’s modelling days, when she got an acting offer from Salman before she was chosen for Shah Rukh-starrer Om Shanti Om. However, the actress denied Salman’s offer as she felt she was not ready to face the camera. Currently, Deepika has films like Happy New Year, Finding Fanny Fernandes and Imtiaz Ali’s untitled film in her kitty.
