As
we
all
know,
Deepika
Padukone
is
the
leading
lady
of
Rajinikanth
starrer
multilingual
movie
Kochadaiiyaan.
The
Bollywood
diva
had
given
a
nod
to
star
in
the
movie
without
a
second
thought.
Later,
the
same
team
started
Kochadaiiyaan,
a
prequel
to
Rana,
which
was
shelved
for
some
reasons.
But
did
you
know
who
was
approached
before
the
offer
knocked
the
doors
of
Deepika?
Well,
it
is
none
other
than
Anushka
Shetty!
Surprised
right?
The
news
has
been
revealed
by
none
other
than
Anushka
Shetty
herself.
The
actress,
who
is
awaiting
the
release
of
her
prestigious
Irandaam
Ulagam,
has
spilled
the
bean
over
it
in
a
promotional
interview
of
her
forthcoming
movie.
The
Bangalore
lass
has
said
that
she
was
supposed
to
work
with
the
Tamil
superstar,
but
could
not
take
up
due
to
her
other
commitments
and
she
regrets
it.
"Yes,
I
was
supposed
to
work
with
him
during
the
initial
stages
of
Rana.
When
the
talks
were
happening,
I
was
shooting
and
couldn't
give
dates.
I
will
always
regret
it," the
Deccan
Chronicle
quotes
the
actress
as
saying.
Anushka
Shetty
claims
that
she
would
love
to
work
with
Rajinikanth,
and
knowing
that
he
is
a
wonderful
human
being,

wishes
to
know
him
as
a
person.
