Salman Khan apparently checked out Deepika Padukone when she was first signed to do Shah Rukh Khans Om Shanti Om.
He was mighty impressed with her beauty and talent. But at that time, he was doing Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Saawariya. And with a proxy war going on between OSO and Saawariya, the lead actors of the two movies didn’t really interact much with each other.
Now it’s being said that Salman wants to do a movie with Deepika more than ever before. Deepika too had once told BT, “Salman is one actor I’m looking forward to doing a film with.”
Sources say that director Anees Bazmee will cast these two good-looking people together. Deepika said she’s unaware of these reports but sources close to Salman say that this is a definite and immediate possibility because “Bhai wants to do a movie with Deepika.” If this casting coup happens, it could be one up on the current sensations, Ranbir Kapoor and Katrina Kaif who are also looked upon as a hot screen jodi. Of course, don’t read between the lines and try and see any ulterior motive in Salman’s desire to do a movie with the gorgeous Bangalore beauty. It’s a plain and simple case of good casting.
