After several failed attempts, Kabir finally brings Deepika and Salman together

Mumbai: Deepika Padukone had expressed her desire to work with Salman Khan on several occasions, but was waiting for 'something special' to bring them together on screen. Looks like, things have finally fallen into place as Kabir Khan has managed to bring the two together for his next film.

Interestingly, Deepika gave a nod to Kabir’s film before she started shooting for her Hollywood debut movie ‘xXx’ with Vin Diesel. While she was shooting, her team took care of other formalities back home. Kabir will start shooting for the film once the two have wrapped up their respective films.

There were rumours that Deepika had also been approached for ‘Prem Ratan Dhan Payo’, ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ and ‘Sultan’, however all didn’t go as planned.

At an event last year, Deepika revealed that she had received an acting debut offer from Salman, which happened way before she was chosen by Farah Khan for ‘Om Shanti Om’. However, she declined it then as she felt she was not ready to face the camera.

She had said, "He offered me my first film when I was too young and I was not ready to be in front of the camera. I will always be grateful to him. Just the fact that he offered me a film was a great thing. It is taking a long time for us to come together on screen, so I think there is something special waiting for us."
