Deepika to do an item number in a Telugu flick Teen Maar

Deepika Padukone is doing an item number in Jayanth C Paranji's Telugu flick Teenmaar which stars Pawan Kalyan. She had also shaken her booty in Paranji's 2009 Telugu film Love 4 Ever. Looks like Dippy is always willing to groove in his movies. Or is it the lure of the greenbucks from down South too?

Rekha to romance Rajinikanth in Rana, Rajinikanth triple Role in Rana

After Madhuri Dixit turned down offer to play one of the leading ladies of Rajinikanth for ‘Rana’, evergreen actress Rekha was approached to play one of the heroines of the film. ‘Rana’ is a bilingual film to be made in both Hindi and Tamil. Long legged actress Deepika Padukone will play one of the ladies.

This is not the first time that Rekha and Rajinikanth will be sharing screen space. In 2000, she worked with Rajini in ‘Bulandi’ and both have worked in the film ‘Phool Bane Aangaray’ also.

Rajinikant will play a triple role in the film. Anushka is being considered for the third actress.

Bipasha in severe tiff with Deepika

Rohan Sippy’s ‘Dum Maro Dum’ is again hitting the news for all wrong reasons. Bipasha Basu is fighting it out with Deepika Padukone for the poster of the film which has only Deepika Padukone grooving to the super-hit song, ‘Dum Maro Dum’. Bips is not happy that the main stars of the movie were neglected and only Deepika was featured in the poster.

A source from the production house said, "There were various debates about how the first look poster of the film will be made.

Finally it was decided that rather than having Abhishek Bachchan and Bipasha Basu on the posters of the film it would be nice to have Deepika who features in the item song `Dum Maro Dum'.

When Bipasha learnt about the poster she was not very happy and called Rohan Sippy who explained his promotional strategy to her."

When contacted Rohan Sippy said, "Deepika is doing a title song of the film. On the teaser poster you can hardly recognise Deepika.

It's brand Dum Maaro Dum and Bipasha is the female lead of the film. But I guess that's what happens with guest numbers and with iconic songs."

On the other hand, Bipasha denied any dispute and said, "I was the first one to tweet about the first look of DMD because I loved it and am super excited about our film.

Deepika is a super dancer and has done total justice to our song. There are no controversies here."
