Young, talented and successful Deepika Padukone has walked out of 52 year old Shah Rukh Khan's next movie with Aanand L. Rai. SRK hasn't seen a major success after the demise of Yash Chopra. His movies have stopped making that huge of an impact over the last few years and in terms of box-office success, Shah Rukh Khan is way behind Salman and Aamir Khan now. Not many were surprised when Deepika Padukone walked out of Aanand L Rai's next film opposie SRK citing dates issue.
According to reports, Deepika was keen on doing the film, unfortunately her dates were clashing with those allotted to Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati. Since she had already committed her dates to SLB's film, she had to say no to Rai.
Initially, Deepika Padukone was to finish the shooting of Sanjay Leela's Padmavati in time for SRK's film but the repeated attacks on SLB and the sets of the film led to a re-shuffling of the dates. HT Cafe quoted a source as saying, "The rescheduling of dates multiple times of Bhansali’s film has led to a change in Deepika’s schedule as well. So, she had no other alternative but to let go of Rai’s film.”
