Deepika to follow orders by Rajini

Bollywood is buzzing with rumours about superstar Rajinikanth delaying the commencement of his forthcoming movie Rana by a week because he wants his heroine, Deepika Padukone, to look more glamourous and beautiful on-screen. The movie is directed by K.S. Ravikumar. The first schedule of this movie was set to begin at the same venue and a huge set was specially created for the same. Recently, the leggy actor flew to Chennai for a photoshoot of the movie featuring the lead pair at AVM Studios.

However, if sources in tinsel town are to be believed, Rajini, being the perfectionist that he is, wanted a more traditional looking Deepika than her present supermodel-like look. It is learnt that the film has a complex plot and spans three generations, this is the reason why the makers want it to seem as authentic as possible.

The model-turned-actor is paired opposite the superstar in the segment where he plays the young Rajini and the actor felt that Deepika needed to look like the traditional south Indian girl who is simple yet beautiful at the same time. A little birdie on the sets informs us that Rajini has asked the make-up team to create a new look for the actor.

Earlier, Deepika was on cloud nine when she signed this film with the superstar and even allotted dates to it on a high priority basis after walking out of the Housefull sequel.
