CinemaWhile Deepika's debut was in Kannada in 2006, she did not do any south film after that for years.Sowmya RajendranIn 2006, Deepika Padukone made her debut in a Kannada film called Aishwarya in which she acted with Upendra. Her very next film, however, was the Bollywood biggie Om Shanti Om with Shah Rukh Khan. Though Aishwarya was also a big hit, Deepika, who grew up in Bengaluru, did not do any south film after that for a long time. She was supposed to do Rana with Rajinikanth in Tamil, but the project didn't take off due to Rajinikanth's poor health. She eventually settled for what Rana became – a motion capture film called Kochadaiiyaan in 2014. The film tanked badly at the box-office, and Deepika did not sign any south film after that. Until now. The announcement that Deepika, currently among the highest paid women actors in the country, will be starring opposite...

Popular Tamil director Shankar (of Endhiran/Robot fame) is definitely not new to Bollywood. His earlier works Indian and Anniyan were dubbed in Hindi as Hindustani (Kamal Hasan in a double role) and Aparichit (Raavan’s Dev/Vikram with a multiple personality disorder). In fact he had even remade his Mudhalvan as the Anil Kapoor-Rani Mukherjee starrer Nayak. And after the super success of Rajnikanth’s Robot, Shankar has decided to quickly cash in on it by dubbing one of his earlier movies: Boys.
Boys is a 2003 Tamil movie starring the cute Siddharth and bubbly Genelia. For a director known for his message-injected movies, this one was a complete youth based masala movie - in fact both the actors had kick-started their filmi careers from this movie. Shankar, who wanted to release the dubbed version of this movie for quite some time has finally almost finished the dubbing.
