Deepika Padukone’s recent visit to the Cannes festival, her first major international appearance, caught the attention of none other than filmmaker Woody Allen. Buzz is that the lissome actress, who looked resplendent in a Rohit Bal saree, was being coveted by several Hollywood agents at Cannes.
A friend of Deepika says, “Many Hollywood agents sent her messages, directly and indirectly, that they would like to be appointed by her if she was keen on Hollywood assignments.”It was one of these agents who texted her that Woody Allen would like to meet her. Deepika was obviously thrilled. But she couldn’t extend her stay due to prior work commitments in India.. “She couldn’t have a meeting with any of these agents,” adds Deepika’s friend.
