Tamil director Pa Ranjith, who helmed the gangster drama "Kabali", has dismissed reports that Deepika Padukone will star in superstar Rajinikanth's next.
"No, it is not true," Ranjith tweeted when asked about it by a fan.
Deepika played the leading lady in Rajinikanth's "Kochadaiyaan", India's first photo-realistic motion-capture film, which marked the directorial debut of Rajinikanth's daughter Soundarya.
