After winning accolades for her period-drama Padmaavat, Deepika Padukone is enjoying her me-time with family and friends. She was scheduled to start working on her Vishal Bhardwaj film with Piku co-star Irrfan Khan but his rare disease has pushed the schedule of the film further. The film will go on floors as soon as Irrfan recovers. Now according to some reports, Deepika has been roped in to star in the remake of Sridevi’s superhit film that released four decades ago with the late actress in the lead.

A DNA report claims, “The original Sridevi film was made by a producer from the South and helmed by a Bollywood director. However, talks are on to procure the rights and remake it with Deepika. Nobody is willing to comment on the subject because talks have just been mooted and there are a lot of modalities involved. However, it is true that Deepika is in the know."

Bollywood fans will be really delighted to see Deepika Padukone breathing life in Sridevi’s iconic role. Well, its for the actress herself to tell how true these reports are.
