All three are slated for a 2007 release.


However, Deepika has categorically denied ever having met Priyadarshan, and claims she is not doing his film.

Deepika was also signed a Tamil film opposite Surya entitled Vaaranam Aayiram to be directed by Gautham Menon but backed out at the last moment as the dates required for the film were clashing with Om Shanti Om.
