Deepika excited for Big B

Model turned actress Deepika Padukone is to get a new feather in her cap as she is all set to share screen space with Big B Amitabh Bachchan. Yes, Deepika will play Amitabh’s daughter in Prakash Jha’s new film ‘Aarakshan.’

Reason for Deepika bagging this role is known to be her height and demeanour. This will be Deepika's first with Big B. The film is scheduled to go on floors very soon. ‘I began to flesh out the part, make it more dramatic. That is when I thought of Deepika in the role of Bachchan’s daughter. They are both tall and look quite like father and daughter,’ said director.
