Our tall, dimpled beauty Deepika Padukone seems to be quite thrilled of late. Reason - Superstar Rajinikanth specially called her, in spite of him being on a health break.

Even as he is taking complete rest on the advice of doctors at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, Singapore, the numero uno actor is keeping himself busy thinking and discussing about his forthcoming venture 'Rana'.

According to sources, after speaking over phone with Rana’s director K S Ravikumar and lyricist Vairamuthu, Rajini later telephoned Deepika Padukone, one of the heroines of the project, and reportedly told her that the shoot would start in September.

Deepika, who was so happy to receive a phone call from Rajini, assured him that she would give her fullest co-operation to the film produced by Eros International and Soundarya Rajinikanth's Ocher Studios.
