Bollywood's A-List actress, Deepika Padukone is excited about her upcoming film Kochadaiiyaan.

Very picky about her projects, the actress reveals that, it was due to emotional reasons that she picked this one. She recalls saying, when Soundarya Rajinikanth approached her, she gave a nod without even reading the script or asking for any details. The only reason was Rajinikanth. A huge fan of him, she felt it would be an honour to work with a legend like him and also an opportunity to discuss cinema with him. Beside who wouldn't want to work with a man like him?

Deepika is the second actress from Bollywood to get a chance to work with this Southern superstar, after Aishwarya.

The Tamil 3D motion capture computer-animated period film is set to release on April 11. It will also be dubbed in Telugu, Japanese, Bhojpuri, Bengali, Marathi, Punjabi and English.
