Deepika is demanding more charge than Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan!

‘Om Shani Om’ was emphatic success of the starrer Shah Rukh-Deepika, which producer by south India Shankar, who made the super hit film ‘Shivaji –The Boss’ with Rajnikanth. Shankar approached the former model for the female lead role in his forthcoming film ‘Robot’, but Deepika is reported to have charged such a high fee which imagine for producer.It may seem to be hard to believe, but the truth is that ‘one film wonder’ Deepika Padukone is proving to be expensive than former Miss World Aishwarya Rai to the film producers. Before her entry into Bollywood, Deepika was talked about more because of her string of boyfriends, but today she is also in the news for demanding very high rates for acting in films.

The film producer Shankar offered to Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan for the role of robot, but there is no confirmation whether the actress has said yes. Ash is basically running a tight schedule.
Aishwarya has just completed shooting for an international project ‘Pink Panther – 2’ and ‘Sarkar Raj’ after completed the magnum opus ‘Jodhaa-Akbar’. At present, she enjoy holiday in the ‘pink city of Jaipur in Rajasthan with her husband Abhishek Bachchan and mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan.

Shankar select South superstar Rajnikanth for robot. In this movie Rajnikanth will act a scientist who create a robot for man kind. The success of ‘Om Shanti Om’ has gone into the head of Deepika, who has let go of an opportunity to work in a big budget film opposite South superstar Rajnikanth only for the sake of money. This movie may prove to be costly for Deepika more then Aishwarya Rai-Bachchan.
