Deepak Tijori's Do Lafzon Ki Kahaani starring Randeep Hooda is finally set to hit theatres next month after a long struggle for that perfect release date and a source close to the project tells us that the actor's make-up artist, Renuka Pillai will be making her acting debut with it. She plays a nurse - a role that accidentally fell into her lap while she was busy getting Randeep ready for his scenes.
`Renuka barely had any ambitions to act, but it was on location that the director decided to cast her. She will share screen space with Randeep,` informs a source.
The director was not too happy with the casting agent's initial selection for the nurse's role and so, took the decision impulsively. `They were shooting in Malaysia when Deepak felt he needed a replacement for the nurse's character. He requested Randeep to ask his make-up artist if she could volunteer,` adds the source.
Deepak confirms the buzz, saying, `The casting agent did not get us the actor I would have liked to play the nurse. I wanted someone to be well versed in Hindi. So, at the last minute, I requested Randeep to offer the role to Renuka. She was willing to play the part and that's how she is making her acting debut.`
