A few weeks back, we had reported that Prabhu Deva, who tasted immense success with Rowdy Rathore, is planning another massy flick named Namak, which will have Shahid Kapoor as the male lead. Sources now claim that the director has roped in Deepika Padukone as the female lead to star opposite Sasha, as he is known.
It is being said that Prabhu was highly impressed with the dimpled damsel after seeing the promos of the recently released Cocktail and decided to rope her in as the lead actress of his film. Deepika, who played the wild party animal Veronica in Cocktail, earned rave reviews for her looks and performance in the Homi Adajania flick.
Namak is reportedly a massy entertainer, which will deal with the issue of drug trade in North India
