Say What! Deepika Padukone approached to replace Kangana Ranaut in ‘Imali’

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone has become one of the most sought-after actresses in the industry currently. The ‘Padmaavat’ actress also tied the knot in November 2018 in Italy’s Lake Como with Ranveer Singh. Now, according to reports, Deepika is likely to replace Kangana Ranaut in Anurag Basu’s ‘Imali’.

Anurag Basu, while talking to DNA told that Kangana got busy with ‘Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi’ and they had scheduling issues and eventually, he got busy with other films as well.

The ‘Kites’ director further added how she wanted to be in a good space to do the film but eventually, things did not work out. Basu also confirmed that he had a word with Deepika and met her. But, nothing has been confirmed yet.

Kangana, though is busy with quite a few projects as well. She is awaiting her next release ‘Mental Hai Kya’. And she also has Ashwiny Iyer Tiwari’s ‘Panga’ and has also signed former Tamil Nadu CM late J Jayalalithaa’s biopic.
