Finally Salman, Deepika to work together

Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone’s onscreen pairing was jinxed, until now. After a few filmmakers’ multiple efforts to bring them together, Kabir Khan has finally managed to get the two actors in the same frame for his upcoming film.

Interestingly, Deepika gave a nod to Kabir’s film before she started shooting her Hollywood debut xXx: Return of Xander Cage with Vin Diesel. While she was shooting, her team took care of other formalities back home. Kabir will start shooting for the film once Salman and Dippy wrap up their respective ongoing films.

There were rumours that Deepika had also been approached for Prem Ratan Dhan Payo, Bajrangi Bhaijaan and Sultan but had to turn down each due to some reason or the other. At an event last year, Deepika also revealed that she had received a debut offer from Salman, much before she was chosen by Farah Khan for Om Shanti Om. She apparently declined it then as she felt that she wasn’t ready to face the camera.

“He offered me my first film when I was too young and not ready to be in front of the camera. I will always be grateful to him. Just the fact that he offered me a film was a great thing. It is taking a long time for us to come together on screen, so I think there is something special waiting for us.”
