How Ms Padukone landed her Aarakshan role

Do you think that Deepika Padukone resembles Amitabh Bachchan's daughter (Shweta Nanda)? Well Prakash Jha seemed to think so and cast the actress as the Big B's beti in his next, Aarakshan.

Two other leading actresses were being considered for the part. And initially, Jha even thought of casting a newcomer. What clinched the role for Padukone was her height and demeanour, reveals a source.

This will be Dippy's first film with both Jha and Bachchan. Shooting begins in Bhopal soon. Interestingly, it is also the location where Jha based his last film Raajneeti featuring the actress' ex, Ranbir Kapoor.

How he zeroed in on Deepika is quite a story. "I began to flesh out the part, make it more dramatic.

That's when I thought of Deepika in the role of Bachchan Saab's daughter. They're both tall and look quite like father and daughter."
