Deepika Padukone

A chance to work with Rajnikanth is greater than all the Khans put together. And ladies of B-town realise this only too well. After all who wouldn't want to be part of the fever and frenzy associated with the megastar's movies?

From Madhuri Dixit to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, he's romanced them all. Following the phenomenal success of Robot, Rajni is slated to begin work on K S Ravikumar's Tamil action epic, Rana.

The duo previously worked together on hits like Muthu and Padayappa. To make things even more exciting, A R Rahman is on board as composer. You can only imagine Deepika Padukone's excitement on being asked to join the party.

On that note, here's a look at potential future heroines for Rajni. Vote for your favourite.

Deepika Padukone

The leggy lass began her career as King Khan's dreamy girl in Om Shanti Om. Technically, her debut is a Kannada flick, Aishwarya opposite Upendra.

With sufficient know-how on superstars and regional cinema, Deepika should not have too much trouble playing a glamorous arm candy to Rajni.   

Vidya Balan

While most heroines are reduced to pretty props in Rajni's enormous presence, Vidya Balan could be a little more than that.  

Her calm sensuality and restrained acting relentlessly strives for a challenge -- be it to play Amitabh Bachchan's mom in Paa or Naseerudin Shah's muse in Ishqiya.

Kareena Kapoor

Her brand of dazzle and energy makes Bebo an ideal Rajni girl.

Whether it's generating romance, comedy or chemistry, Kareena Kapoor's a drama queen for all occasions.

Priyanka Chopra

Following the intense experience of 7 Khoon Maaf, wherein Priyanka has aged played better half to actors ranging from John Abraham to Anu Kapoor and Naseer, the actress could surely create something special without donning prosthetics too.

What say, Rajni?   

Sonakshi Sinha

She's only 23 but Shatrughan Sinha's super-attractive beti can hold her own, and convincingly at that, against Salman Khan's tremendous charisma.

Bet she could do an encore if thrown in the same frame as Rajni.

She won accolades for her double role in Dasavathaaram despite the multi-presence of Kamal Haasan in ten avatars.

She stole the thunder from Aamir Khan in several scenes of Ghajini.

Applying that logic, the effervescent beauty would make a swell team with a stalwart like Rajni too, right?

Mallika Sherawat

What could a sex symbol like Mallika possibly do in a Rajnikanth starrer considering he pretty much rules the show?

Why raise the mercury, of course! Jackie Chan's The Myth, anyone?

Anushka Sharma

After impressing all and sundry with her brightness in Band Baaja Baraat, Anushka has emerged as a strong, confident performer.

If it's good enough to floor celebrated painter M F Husain, it's all right to play Rajni's romantic interest too.

Bipasha Basu

Le Basu possesses the maturity and chutzpah to lend sense and sensibility to any role she picks.

Just the qualities Rajni needs in his on-screen woman.
