It was reported that Deepika Padukone will be the main actress in Vishal Bhardwaj's, acting with Irrfan Khan. But is it true that she has to quit the role and return money to the filmmaker?

Mumbai: According to the newest reports, the main role in Vishal Bhardwaj's film will be played by Deepika Padukone. She will have a cooperation with Irrfan Khan, also one of the stars. But as the latest buzz, Deepika has decided to return the amount of money to the filmmaker.

As stated by a report in dnaindia.com, Irrfan Khan, star chosen for this film, is facing with Neuroendocrine tumor and getting a cure for this disease in London. Deepika really wants to have a cooperation with Bhardwaj after Irrfan Khan returns to his work. Therefore, Bhardwaj decided to delay the film waiting for his recovery before the project starts.

Verily, Vishal had informed to the public about this delay in a statement in February. His writing was to give an explanation of postponing the film. As both of his main actors were having a hard time dealing with various health problems, so he had no choice but pushing back the film for a few months.

Irrfan is diagnosed with jaundice and he will need to take a few weeks absence to be able to recover. During that time, Deepika Padukone also has to face with her resurfacing back problem. Her back pain had extended before during the filming of Padmaavat. Her role in the film is really challenging, especially physical aspect. It is definitely not good for her condition at the time, so the doctor has given her a couple of advice, and hard-working of course is not considered at all. She has to follow doctor's instruction for a couple of months to be able to recover quickly.

When viewing some test photographs of Deepika and Irrfan, Vishal could not realize their look instantly and he needed a couple of minutes later to be able to recognize them. While having a preparation for them over the past few weeks, he felt as if he was back to the days when making Maqbool - a 2003 Indian crime tragedy directed by himself.

Deepika Padukone is going to get married to Ranveer Singh before the end of this year. They are totally considered as one of the most perfect couples of Bollywood. Their marriage is all set before the end of this year - some rumors say it's around November 20th. Lake Como will be the wonderful chosen destination for their wedding in Italy.
