Deepika
Padukone
hasn't
SIGNED
any
New
Film
after
Padmavat;
Here's
why
|
FilmiBeat
Post
the
stupendous
success
of
her
last
film,
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali's
Padmaavat,
everyone
expected
Deepika
Padukone
to
go
on
a
signing
spree
and
take
up
multiple
projects.
However,
barring
Vishal
Bharadwaj's
untitled
flick
with
Irrfan
which
was
supposed
to
go
on
floors
but
is
currently
on
hold
due
to
his
ill-health,
Deepika
hasn't
taken
up
any
new
film.
While
her
contemporaries
have
at
least
three
films
in
their
kitty,
Deepika
hasn't
made
any
official
announcement
regarding
any
other
project.
Though
time
and
again,
we
do
get
to
hear
her
name
being
speculated
for
various
films.
This
has
led
the
grapevine
abuzz
with
rumors
about
what's
keeping
her
away
from
taking
up
new
projects-
Before
You
Jump
To
Conclusions
Is
it
her
neck
injury
or
her
'rumoured'
November
wedding
to
beau
Ranveer which
is
keeping
her
up
from
films?
Well
folks,
turns
out
none
of
these
reasons
are
true.
Deepika
Wants
Author-Backed
Role
A
source
told
Deccan
Chronicle
that
Deepika
is
keen
on
taking
up
an
author-backed
role
and
she
hasn't
been
offered
something
on
those
lines
as
yet.
She
Isn't
Happy
With
The
Quality
Of
Roles
Coming
Her
Way
The
source
further
added,
"
"Her
back/neck
problem
is
being
properly
attended
to
and
she
will
be
fine
soon.
As
for
marriage
plans,
they
in
no
way
impinge
on
her
career.
The
reason
Deepika
is
not
signing
anything
new
is
because
of
the
quality
of
roles
coming
her
way.
They
are
all
big-banner
films
with
top
heroes.
But
nothing
even
remotely
as
author-backed
or
inspiring
as
Padmaavat."
She
Doesn't
Want
To
Be
Just
A
Prop
In
A
Film
"At
this
stage
in
her
career,
Deepika
is
no
more
content
playing
the
conventional
leading
lady.
It
has
to
be
a
script
that
offers
her
as
much
to
do
as
the
male
protagonist," the
source
further
revealed.
The
Remuneration
Factor
Apparently,
big
banners
are
not
ready
to
pay
a
hefty
amount
to
a
female
lead
while
they
spend
crores
on
the
male
leads.
The
source
added,
"She
has
gone
on-record
to
claim
she
was
paid
more
than
the
leading
man
in
Padmaavat.
Big
banners
like
Yash
Raj
Films
and
Karan
Johar's
Dharma
Productions
are
not
willing
to
pay
her
that
kind
of
money."
Do
folks
think
Deepika
should
take
up
more
films
rather
than
one
at
a
time?
