Two Bollywood beauties
Ananya Panday and
Deepika Padukone will be seen together in the upcoming film of director Shakun Batra. Even though the name of the film is still untitled, the movie's genre will be new to the Indian cinema. Talking in an interview with a leading daily, Ananya Panday opened up about her co-star Deepika Padukone. She said, "You don’t feel like she is a star overpowering you. It feels like being with a friend. Deepika is more beautiful on the inside than on the outside.”
Talking further about working with the director Shakun, Ananya said that she asked him to direct her the way he wants. “I told him that I’d do anything he directs. I am just going to sit there like a student and try to absorb as much as I can.” Talking earlier in an interview, Deepika Padukone gave some useful insights into the film. She said, "To be honest, you can’t call Shakun’s film ‘light’ either. Although the overall tonality of the film is slightly lighter than my last film, in terms of inner, emotional turmoil my character goes through, it’s quite challenging. The overall genre of the film is something we haven’t seen much in Indian cinema, it’s called domestic noir. I don’t think that’s a genre we are very familiar with, but at the same time, the audience is completely ready for it, as we have been exposed to that genre in different ways, whether through Hollywood films or OTT platforms."
On the work front, Deepika Padukone has become picky in selecting her future projects. The diva wants to do films that are socially relevant than commercially viable. This is why Deepika's last film Chapaak was all about giving an important social message to the audience. Her acting in the film was outstanding and her fans can't wait for her to appear again on big screens.
