    Deepika Padukone, Taurani patch up for Race 2

    MUMBAI: After two days of negotiations, Deepika Padukone has finally decided to jump back on board for Ramesh Taurani‘s ‘Race 2‘, though she has set some conditions.

    It is being said that after meeting Taurani yesterday, Padukone realised that it wouldn‘t be in her best interest to contest the filmmaker on monetary grounds.

    Though the official CINTAA (Cine and TV Artistes‘ Association) meeting was called off 30 minutes before its scheduled time on Wednesday, the actress did end up meeting CINTAA general secretary Dharmesh Tiwari who asked her to stay away from monetary hassles and say ‘yes‘ to Taurani.

    The conditions that Padukone has set are that she will not allot fresh dates to ‘Race 2‘, as she will be busy with Rajinikanth‘s ‘Kochadaiyaan‘ and the Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Jawaani Diwani‘. She has asked both Taurani and director Abbas-Mustan to not work with middlemen; she will only work with her chosen set of designers, hair stylist and makeup artist; she wants the makers to consult her for the release of their film because she wants no misunderstandings during the promotional phase of the film; and in case of a foreign schedule, the actress wants to be informed a month in advance.

    Ramesh Taurani complains against Deepika Padukone to CINTAA

    MUMBAI: Angry with Deepika Padukone’s quitting Tips Films‘ Race 2 at the eleventh hour, producer Ramesh Taurani has filed a complaint against the actress with the Cine & TV Artists Association (CINTAA) and Association of Motion Pictures & TV Programme Producer of India (AMPTPP).

    CINTAA has confirmed having received the complaint against Padukone and in turn has informed the actress about the complaint filed by the filmmaker.

    According to the rules and regulations of CINTAA, if an artiste fails to respond to a complaint, the case gets forwarded to FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees). And then, if the artiste turns a blind eye to FWICE‘s decision, he/she is liable to face a NCD (Non-Cooperation Directive).

    “ I respect Taurani a lot and would not do anything that upsets him. The only paper he had given ma mentioned that the film would be completed by September 2011 and we are in now February 2012. I have my own commitments. I would reply to the CINTAA in due course of time,” averred Padukone.

    It is believed that Padukone will soon meet FWICE President Dharmesh Tiwari and CINTAA General Secretary Dharmesh Tiwari. After the two parties are heard, Padukone doesn’t mind returning the signing amount and as for the compensation, she is open to discussions.
