Now Deepika Padukone is ready to Race

Deepika Padukone, the Om Shanti Om, gal has indeed traveled a long way from her debutant days. The gal has proved that hard work and perseverance are two of the most crucial keys to success.

As the hot bod star has managed to capture hearts of the audiences with her steering performances in most of her flicks after 'OSO', she is slowly but steadily managing to get a strong foothold in the industry.

Films like Bachchna Ae Haseeno, Love Aaj Kal, Karthik calling Karthik, Houseful, etc have shown her the path to become quite an established star and her forth coming flicks like Break Ke Baad, and Khelein Hum Jee Jaan se are quite promising too, going by the various reports doing the rounds.

However, to add another feather to her almost feathered cap is the news that she is being considered to be a part of the super hit Abbas Mastan flick Race sequel, titled Race 2.

Well, considering that the flick Race, was a super duper hit with female stars like Bipasha Basu, Katrina Kaif, Sameera Reddy, along with their male counter parts like Anil Kapoor, Akshaye Kumar and Saif Ali Khan, it is being anticipated that a new cast in the

sequel is being panned and it is quite a matter of a challenging proposition to be able to beat the heart beating experience in Race.

However, the fact that Priyanka Chopra was to be cast in the sequel Race2 is now being considered to a thing of the past, as Deepika and Kareena are now expected to be the ones to bag the roles as the female protagonists.

Well, with Deepika on the road to capture the Race2 role, the road to becoming the number one star is perhaps getting less rocky for her!
