The actress reveals that film&#39;s lead actor Shah Rukh Khan and director Rohit Shetty came up with the idea to dress her in a &#39;lungi&#39;. &quot;That&#39;s something new and I hope it works,&quot; says Deepika about her look.u00a0 <img alt="'Chennai Express'" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2013/feb/Chennai-Express_1.jpg" style="width: 500px; height: 580px;" /> &quot;The idea to wear a &#39;lungi&#39; 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 were like &#39;Why don&#39;t we give her this &#39;lungi&#39; and make her look modern&#39;. The shirt that I am wearing in the posters also belongs to SRK, only the sunglasses are mine,&quot; the actress told PTI. The potboiler, which reunites Deepika with SRK onscreen after her debut in &#39;Om Shanti Om&#39;, is slated to release this year. Deepika, fresh from the success of &#39;Race 2&#39;, is looking forward to back-to-back releases this year. &quot;It has been a good year but my next next six months are very demanding in terms of my schedule. I hope all the hard work pays. I have &#39;Chennai Express&#39; and &#39;Kochadaiyaan&#39; with Rajini (Rajinikanth) sir is also ready for release,&quot; says Deepika. She has two other films --&#39;Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani&#39;, her film will Ranbik Kapoor and Sanjay Leela Bhansali&#39;s &#39;Ram Leela&#39;. There were reports that she may star in Salman Khan&#39;s &#39;Kick&#39; but the actress denies it. &quot;That&#39;s all speculation. It probably stems from the fact that I had expressed a desire to work with Salman Khan. Maybe these stories are coming from there. u00a0

Hopefully, 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
