We hear that the dusky beauty has been dropped by Rakesh Roshan, who thinks she she doesn't fit the bill for his dance-based next starring Hrithik Roshan.
Says Roshan senior, "I am in the process of working on a film which will be directed by Anurag Basu. And Deepika didn't fit the role. We'll definitely work with her in future for some other project. It's quite a complex character and we are looking out for a female lead."
Accordding to Filmkraft sources Roshans are now looking at casting a non-Indian for the role who can do Salsa.
Deepika too doesn't shy away from admitting this bitter truth. "I don't think I am a star. I am just one film old and have a long way to go," she says.
Talking to a tabloid she reveals," As of now I have signed two movies. I'll be shooting with Ranbir in January for Yash Raj's next. It will be directed by Sidharth Anand. It's not titled yet. After that I will be working on Nikhil Advani's Made In China opposite Akshay Kumar."
