Dippy loses another one to Kat!

    As soon as it was announced yesterday that Katrina Kaif would be cast opposite Shahrukh Khan in Aanand L. Rai's upcoming film, gutsy Deepika Padukone, earlier considered for the same role.

    As soon as it was announced yesterday that Katrina Kaif would be cast opposite Shahrukh Khan in Aanand L. Rai's upcoming film, gutsy Deepika Padukone, earlier considered for the same role, which she turned down to accommodate her Hollywood outing, made a couple of frantic calls.

    Dippy, who not just shares professional turf with Katrina but also a few degrees of separation via a certain Ranbir Kapoor, called the celebrated director asking him why she wasn't asked again, since she had finished with her foreign project already, and would have dates available for this one. The stumped director obviously wouldn't know her schedule, so Katrina was roped in.

    Now, we hear Deepika would have all and sundry know that this is a film she had rejected first. This is one rivalry that's only bound to get spicier.
