Deepika out, Priyanka in for Race sequel!

Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra

Now that Deepika Paukone has reportedly walked out from Ramesh Taurani’s sequel to the 2008 thriller Race, it is heard that Priyanka Chopra is most likely to step into Deepika’s shoes. The actress has gone through the script and is said to have liked it.

A source close to the project tells, “It would be rather nice if Priyanka accepts the offer. She had been considered for the role earlier as well. She is aware of the script. So there won’t be any time lost over narration. Things can easily fall into place”.

Priyanka Chopra is presently in Hyderabad, shooting for Rakesh Roshan’s Krrish 3. The actress will meet Taurani as soon as she returns to Mumbai.
