Deepika Padukone To Star in Corporate Sequel

After the success of the 2006 film 'Corporate' starring Bipasha Basu, director Madhur Bhandarkar sets his eyes on having actress Deepika Padukone to continue the story in 'Corporate 2". Last year, it was reported that Bipasha Basu would return for the sequel, but now the makers of the film are opting for the young and talented Deepika to play the role this time around, which is the reason why she was approached for the main role.

Since the film had an open ending left to the viewer's imagination, director Madhur Bhandarkar had expressed a desire to make 'Corporate 2'. Bipasha, as the female lead character in 'Corporate' received praise for her worthy performance in the film that had an open ending which showed Bipasha left alone with her daughter fighting for justice. Bipasha received nominations at the Filmfare, Star Screen, and Zee Cine Awards for her compelling character.

The sequel will feature Deepika entering and digging deeper into the corporate world as well as exposing the malevolence that has become an essential part of the business culture in the times of aggressive competition. She gets even with those responsible for Bipasha's downfall.

Let's just hope this decision adds a dash of exuberant youth to the character and turns out to be equally fruitful for the makers this time too!

Deepika's next upcoming release will be opposite Saif Ali Khan in Imtiaz Ali's 'Love Aaj Kal' which was featured as a promo at the IPL Cricket Event. Bipasha's next release will be Sanjay Gupta's 'Pankh'. Madhur Bhandarkar is currently working on his next film 'Jail' which stars Neil Nitin Mukesh.
