<p>Deepika Padukone’s lungi and shirt look from ‘Chennai Express’ posters does not spark a trend. But it has certainly made everyone do a double take. <br /><br /></p>.<p>The actress reveals that the film’s lead actor Shah Rukh Khan and director Rohit Shetty came up with the idea to dress her in a lungi.<br /><br />“That’s something new and I hope it works,” says Deepika about her look. <br /><br />“The idea to wear a lungi is not mine actually. It was Shah Rukh and Rohit who came up with it. We had to quickly do a photoshoot because we were losing the light. They said, ‘Why don’t we give her this lungi and make her look modern?’ The shirt that I am wearing in the posters also belongs to SRK — only the sunglasses are mine,” the actress says. Deepika, fresh from the success of ‘Race 2’, is looking forward to back-to-back releases this year. <br /><br />“It has been a good year but my next six months are very demanding in terms of my schedule. I hope all the hard work pays. I have ‘Chennai Express’ and Kochadaiyaan with Rajini (Rajinikanth) sir is also ready for release,” says Deepika.<br /><br />There were reports that she may star in Salman Khan’s ‘Kick’ but the actress denies it. </p>
