It's her first Tamil flick and Bollywood bombshell Deepika Padukone is thrilled that she's got an opportunity to star with none other than Superstar Rajinikanth.
"I will not even call this a dream come true because it seemed so impossible that I did not even dream that this would happen one day," she said at a press meet for Rana.
TOI understands that the actress is shooting a song sequence on the premises of a popular studio in Vadapalani. "Friday was my first day of shoot," she revealed, "We are shooting a song sequence to a number tuned by A R Rahman, the composer of the film." So, how will she look in the song? "It'll be a period look," she told us, "As the film is set in the 17th century, my look and hair will be done in a very different way. Costume designer Neeta Lulla, who has handled films like Devdas, has worked hard on my look and come out with brilliant results. It's a 17th century look with a south Indian touch."
Added the actress, "It's great to be in Chennai and shooting for this film. Even on the first day of shoot, I could feel the entire unit reaching out to me and helping me with the new environment. Ravikumar sir and Soundarya Rajinikanth ensured that I was comfortable. Even Rajini sir wished me success at the pooja. I'm eagerly awaiting to start work on the scenes that feature both of us."
Rajinikanth, in her opinion, is a legendary actor. "It can't get bigger and better than this. I'm south Indian myself and have long wanted to debut in Kollywood with a big film. Though I've been listening to scripts, it was when Rana came along that I decided that this is the one for me. I think it's destiny." Has she seen any of the Superstar's films? "I've only seen Robot till now."
