Three years ago, Deepika Padukone was supposed to make her debut in a film to be directed by Priyadarshan. She opted for Shah Rukh and Om Shanti Om instead. Priyan had taken the snub on his chin. Now they�re finally working together.
Lucky girl
�I�m so glad that she did Om Shanti Om and not my film, she got lucky� says Priyan tongue-in-cheek, finally breaking his long silence. �Yes, she was being seriously considered for a film called Pirates about music piracy.
But the film didn�t work out,� says Priyan. Deepika will now be seen in a small role in SRK�s home production Billoo Barber, which is being directed by the South director.
Priyan had been trying to rope in Shah Rukh for years. �I had offered him four other films. I never made those films. You can�t make a film written for Shah Rukh with anyone else. Now, when he finally gave me 65 days, he said he�s busy with the IPL and I�d have to adjust dates accordingly.�
Billoo Barber is a remake of Tamil film Kadha Parayum-bol which Priyan�s regular writer Sreenivasan directed.
Suspense hai
Continues Priyan, �Irrfan Khan plays the title role and Shah Rukh plays a superstar called Saahil Khan. It�s inspired by the mythical friendship between Lord Krishna and Sudama but done in a completely contemporary context. It�s about a village and the changes that happen when a superstar descends on the village. What people don�t know is that there�s a very strong suspense element in the film,� informs Priyan.
