Though the former was for personal reasons, and the latter is purely professional. But we know how quickly the professional wars can turn into catfights amongst our Bollywood heroines. We have been speculating for quite some time over which actress will ultimately bag the lucrative Rohit Shetty film ‘Chennai Express’ opposite Shah Rukh Khan, who is already finalised as the male lead. But it seems that the rumours will continue fly till some more time, until of course there’s an official announcement. Biggies, Katrina Kaif and Deepika Padukone, reportedly are at complete loggerheads with each other over the role.

According to inside sources, SRK, who is the lead actor and producer of the film, is keen on casting Katrina for the role as his likeness for the leggy lass is no secret now. Since working with Kaif in the Yashraj flick, King Khan has been seen recommending the actress to many a director all over the town. On the contrary, director Rohit Shetty is heard to be zeroing in on Deepika for the role, since he believes she is more suited for it.

According to what we think, the role will, most probably, go into Deepika’s kitty only; because Katrina is a total busy-bee right now. But you never know how the priorities change in our film industry, stay updated for any new developments on the same through our site.
