New Delhi: When buzz of a movie starring actors Salman Khan and Deepika Padukone saw the light of the day, it made cine buffs exhilarated. Everyone lauded this casting coup which brought together two of the biggest stars of Bollywood. But, this happiness was short lived.
Latest rumours have it that Deepika has reportedly walked out of the movie which was to be helmed by Kabir Khan. Rumours suggest that Deepika, who has won lauds for her acting, was disappointed with the role she was given. She got the lesser piece of meat which compelled her to say goodbye to the role.

An insider told a leading entertainment portal,
“Deepika has realised that she doesn't have much scope in this film. Her condition was that they increase her role when she comes on board, but Kabir is very strict with his writing and doesn't plan to do any such thing. Hence the makers will go as planned with a girl of Chinese origin.”
The actress who will fill in Deepika’s shoes is yet to be decided and the makers are looking for someone of oriental (South Asian) origin. She will be finalised after series of auditions.
On one hand where Deepika was not too happy with her role, Salman gave thumbs-up to the script. The movie which was supposedly titled - ‘Tubelight’, is the story of two brothers, Salman plays one part, while the other role has to be cast. The movie is a period drama which will be shot on Indo-China border.
