Chennai Express is an upcoming 2013 Indian
romance comedy film directed by Rohit Shetty
and produced by Gauri Khan under her production
banner Red Chillies Entertainment. The film features
Shahrukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in lead roles.
This is the second collaboration between Khan and Padukone after
the 2007 blockbuster Om Shanti Om and the first collaboration
between Khan and Shetty. Chennai Express is about a man's journey
from Mumbai to Rameshwaram and what happens along the way. Principal
photography began on 27 September 2012. Filming began in October 2012
and is expected to wrap-up by April 2013
Khan was the first actor to be approached with the script,
and hence the first lead actor to be signed on to the film.
Incidentally, Shetty stated that despite the title, Khan would
not play the role of a South Indian in the film. The casting
of the lead heroine was speculated for a good deal of time.
Names such as Kareena Kapoor, Asin Thottumkal and Deepika Padukone
were rumored by the media. In an interview, a visibly angry
Shetty denied all rumors surrounding the leading heroine, stating
that the cast would be finalized in April 2012 and that he was going
to cast an established actress as the leading lady. However, in August
it was officially announced that Deepika Padukone had been signed to play
the lead opposite Khan. Principal photography began on 27 September 2012
and shooting started soon afterwards. Rohit Shetty wanted Manorama to play
Deepika Padukone's aunt in this film and she accepted the offer. South
Indian actor Sathyaraj was cast as the main antagonist and Deepika's father
