Deepika Padukone has clarified that she has not been approached for Shuddhi. Rumour had it that Deepika was going to replace Kareena Kapoor in the Karan Johar production.
"I don't know if even they (makers of Shuddhi) know what is happening on that project. But no, I haven't been approached for it yet," Deepika said.
Ever since Shuddhi was launched with Hrithik Roshan and Kareena Kapoor in the lead, it's been delayed for one reason or another. Initially, it was postponed due to Hrithik's health issues. Later, he quit the movie and now Kareena was also rumoured to have been replaced with another actress.
Deepika has said that if the makers of the film will approach her, she would love to do it.
"I would love to do that film but I don't think Karan (Johar) would come to me with something that he didn't think that I would do justice to," said the Ram-Leela actress.
"But if he thinks that I would do justice to it then I would love to do that film," she added.
Deepika is currently unaware of the film's status, and said: "I think at the point when Hrithik was doing it, I would have definitely been interested to do it. Now that he is not doing it, I don't know what is happening with the project."
Would you be fine working with any other actor in Shuddhi?
"Sure, why not? But like I said it depends on what they (makers of Shuddhi) themselves plan to do with the project if it even happens in the first place," Deepika said.
Produced by Karan's Dharma Productions, Shuddhi is being directed by Karan Malhotra.
