Deepika to star opposite Salman in Kick 2?

One actress who we would love to see with Salman Khan on-screen is Deepika Padukone. Both the stars have often expressed their desire to work with each other but nothing concrete has happened yet.

Now, reports suggest that the makers of Kick 2 have approached Deepika to play the female lead opposite Salman. A source says, “If you remember, Deepika was the first choice for Kick. But somehow it didn’t work out. Jacqueline Fernandez was brought in and Kick changed the course of her career. Deepika can’t play just a typical Salman heroine. Her role has to be as powerful as Salman’s. Sajid is working on it, injecting content into the female lead.”

It was earlier reported that because Jacqueline is starring opposite Salman in Race 3, the makers of Kick 2 want to re-cast the female lead in their film. “As Jacqueline and Salman are already working together in Race 3, it only makes sense to give audience a fresh pairing,” further said the source.

Kick 2 is scheduled to go on the floors next year. The first part released back in 2014.
