Deepika slams door on directors’ face

Deepika Padukone is being showered with film offers these days. Although she has a tight schedule she should at least listen to her directors before turning down their offer.

She had turned down Kalpana Lajmi’s film. A source stated “Lajmi called up Deepika’s secretary who told her in the first call that Deepika won’t do the film since she had no dates. Lajmi was willing to wait till Deepika had dates but was shocked at her secretary’s
refusal.”

Two months later Lajmi contacted Deepika’s secretary and was disappointed to learn that Deepika had turned down the offer stating that she is busy till 2012.

Lajmi stated “I was ready to wait till Deepika was free. It is sad that today’s heroines are busy only in image-building exercises. They forget that it is the medium of cinema and nothing else that makes them popular.”

To this Deepika’s manager replied “We would love to work with a senior director like Lajmi but unfortunately, there are only 365 days in a year.”

He said, “We had committed our dates. Hence we decided to be upfront about it and not keep her hanging.”
