Deepika bags SRK's next film

The cast of Shivarajkumar's next film Leader seems to only be getting bigger. We'd already told you how Pranitha, Vijay Raghavendra, Guru Jaggesh, Yogi, Vamsi Krishna and Srinagara Kitty's daughter

Parinita

were part of the film. Now, Deepika Kamaiah joins them. The Chingari actress tells us that she plays a journalist in this film. 'This film has an ensemble cast with characters of equal importance. In fact, the role I essay is part of the inner coterie of the character that Shivarajkumar portrays. It is a very exciting role and I'm delighted to be a part of this film, for it has an interesting story,' says Deepika. Leader is being made by the same team that helmed the

Krishna Ajai Rao-starrer Rose

and is expected to be flagged off this month.
