Bollywood actress, Deepika Padukone shared an Instagram Story on Friday that hinted her fans to await a surprise in the coming days.
Deepika wrote on her story ‘3 days to go’ even though the meaning was not clear, the tags suggest that it is related to Shakun Batra’s new directorial. Deepika has tagged Dharma Productions, Shakun, co-stars Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday, and Uri actor Dhairya Karwa.
The plot of the film is not yet clear but it will be an emotional turmoil just as Deepika‘s last film, Chappak. Deepika says “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. What I enjoy and look forward to, as far as this film is concerned, Shakun has this strong point with people and relationships. As an audience/ actor I have enjoyed watching and performing these sorts of films, whether Piku (2015), Tamasha (2015), Love Aaj Kal, films that deal with intricate human relationships.” the actress continued.
The film was originally to be shot in Sri Lanka but that schedule was called off due to the pandemic. It was later decided that the film will be shot in Goa. Deepika was spotted last week at the airport as she left for Goa to shoot for this movie. This is her first shooting scheduled in the pandemic after staying home for months.
