Although his last release Tanu Weds Manu Returns went on to become a blockbuster, director Aanand L. Rai doesn't want to work with the film's leading lady Kangana Ranaut now and rumour has it that he wants to rope in Deepika Padukone for his next.

Reportedly, Aanand wants to cast DeePee, who is enjoying a great career phase presently, in his untitled next. A source has been quoted saying that Rai wants to change up things a bit and therefore, does not want to work with Kangy.

Meanwhile, DeePee is gearing up for the release of her next Bajirao Mastani, which has been directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and also stars Ranveer Singh and Priyanka Chopra.
