Deepika Padukone auditioned for Fast and Furious 7, however, while she was approached further for the role which eventually got bagged by Nathalie Emmanuel, for Deepika rejected the role, given her prior commitments.
Deepika told to PTI, “I don’t regret it. I had to work out things for Ram-Leela here, I couldn’t have left the process midway, I had given my commitment here first. Looking at the way the film (Ram-Leela) has got a response, I feel good as my hard work has paid off,”
Her spokesperson told PTI, “Deepika was offered to be a part of the next Fast And Furious movie. She is a huge fan of the franchise and it’s disappointing not to be able to do it. Unfortunately, the movie goes on the floors immediately, and that left too short a time for her to shift her existing date commitments to the producers of Ram Leela, Happy New Year and Finding Fanny Fernandes.” as quoted by Hindustan Times.
