Deepika Padukone and Rajinikanth

After romancing Rajinikanth in Kochadaiiyaan, Bollywood diva Deepika Padukone will feature alongside the superstar again in Shankar's next.

According to reports, the actress has been signed on as the female lead in the sequel of the 2010 blockbuster Robot. However, no official confirmation has been made regarding the same so far.

Reports also suggests that the high profile sequel will also see none other than Hollywood superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Robot, featuring Rajini and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, became the highest grossing south Indian film of all time - a record broken by S.S. Rajamouli’s Baahubali a couple of weeks ago.

Deepika is currently gearing up for the release of Imtiaz Ali's Tamasha and is also working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's historical drama Bajirao Mastani.
