When Deepika Padukone was summoned for questioning by the Narcotics Control Bureau, she was said to be 'too shaken' to resume shooting.

But it is learnt that the star is confident enough to return to Goa to continue shooting for Shakun Batra's untitled film, where she plays the lead.

Deepika's calm-after-the-storm attitude must come as a blessed relief to Producer Karan Johar, who has been going through a rough patch in the public domain.

A source tells Subhash K Jha, "Karan was all set to close down the film and call back the supporting cast Siddharth Chaturvedi and Ananya Pandey from Goa. But Deepika has assured Karan that she's fine and ready to resume shooting."

"This is all for the best, considering she is the hero of the film, present in almost frame of the screenplay."
