Deepika’s Draupadi Dilemma: Would Deepika Padukone Agree To Play Draupadi In Aamir’s Mahabharat?

Aamir Khan has  begun  casting for  his  big-screen  version  of  the Mahabharat,  Apparently he’s   been telling close friends and associates that only DeepikaPadukone and nobody else can  play Draupadi.

But the  question is, would Deepika agree to be part of another epic story after what Padmavat(i) is  going through?

Says a  well-informed source,  “Aamir’s Mahabharat will be the most expensive mythological film ever made  in this country. It’s Aamir’s dream project and  only the A-listers  would be cast as the epic characters. Deepika is  the natural choice for Draupadi. She has the grace and  grit. But after Padmavat(i)  Deepika is bound to be wary of doing another epic that could easily snowball into a controversy.”

It  remains  to be see whether Deepika succumbs to the temptation of co-starring with Aamir Khan  for the  first time, and that too in his most ambitious  project to date, or whether  the Padmavat(i) experience  will scare her off all epic experiences for some time.
