Deepika Padukone is also currently busy preparing for her part opposite Rajinikanth in Tamil flick Kochadaiyaan. However, her Race 2 producer Ramesh Taurani has not yet lost hopes of pulling her back in his Abbas-Mustan thriller.

"Yes, despite the fact that Taurani have been uncharacteristically vocal about his outburst against Deepika, he's still carrying a desire in his heart to rope her back into Race 2. He could have called her 'unprofessional' and 'unethical' but as a producer he hasn't let his own emotions are available in the way in which of his business decisions", informs a source.

As is a known fact, once Deepika decided to stroll out of Race 2 citing reasons like 'her four months had already been wasted looking ahead to the film' and 'now she needed to pay attention to her newer projects', Taurani had filed a case in AMPTPP (Association of Movies & T.V. Programme Producers) and CINTAA (Cine & TV Artistes Association).

"Many felt that he had done so as a way to 'pull Deepika down' or ask her to compensate him for the times that she had already shot for the film and financial losses that he could have to suffer before a brand new actress is roped in. But the truth of the problem is that he wants these associations to influence Deepika into joining the forged of Race 2", the source continues.

Though one waits to peer if the verdict indeed goes in his favour, if in any respect this occurs it will indeed be a primary within the recent history of Bollywood. Reason being that one hardly remembers any actor returning for the shoot of a movie after walking out of it, without reference to a project being as big as Race 2 or something far smaller.

"Well, I'M taking a look at both eventualities", says Taurani, "THE DECISION may well be in anyone's favour. If it goes in our favour, she would return. We'd know that during a week's time from now."

He's not fretting much concerning the delay caused meanwhile. "WE'RE already shooting for the film with other actors and the following schedule would begin in April", he says. It might be perhaps then when Deepika would join the solid once more if she goes directly to lose the case.
