She opted out of the film and left her producer fuming. She had to face her co-stars’ ire at a recent party. And after going through all the trouble, Deepika Padukone has finally decided to get back on board for Ramesh Taurani’s ‘Race 2’. However, the actress has her set of ‘conditions’. After meeting producer Taurani yesterday, Deepika realised that it wouldn’t be in her best interest to contest the filmmaker on monetary grounds. The damages that Taurani claimed he would ask from the actress might be too high for Dippy, said the source. “Deepika has five points of concern. If the producers of ‘Race 2’ are interested in having her back on board, they will have to look into the conditions,” said a friend of the actress. Dates can’t change: Deepika, who will be busy with her other projects Rajinikanth’s ‘Kochadaiyaan’ and Ranbir Kapoor starrer ‘Jawaani Diwani’, will not allot fresh dates to ‘Race 2’. Direct communication: She has requested the producer Ramesh Taurani and directors Abbas-Mustan to not work with middlemen. No interference in personal care: Deepika will only work with her chosen set of designers, hair stylist and makeup artist. Right to decide release date: The actress wants the filmmakers to consult her for the release of ‘Race 2’. This is because she wants no misunderstandings during the promotional phase of the film. Information on overseas shoot: In case of a foreign schedule, the actress wants to be informed a month in advance.
