Deepika Padukone has a handful of interesting movies lined up including ‘Pathan’, ‘The Intern’, ‘Fighter’, Shakun Batra’s next & more.
The actress will next be seen in Kabir Khan’s ‘83’, where she plays the role of Kapil Dev’s wife, Romi Bhatia.
Deepika will also be seen in Shakun Batra’s upcoming directorial, which also stars Ananya Panday, Siddhant Chaturvedi, and Dhairya Karwa in the lead. The yet-to-be-titled is produced by Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions.
According to a media report, Deepika apparently plays the character of a fitness trainer and is paired opposite Siddhant. Reportedly, Deepika’s character eventually has an affair with her onscreen sister Ananya’s love interest Dhairya.
The movie supposedly deals with complex relationships in an aesthetic and sensitive way and is said to have an OTT release due to the high number of steamy intimate scenes.
“The OTT domain currently has more relaxed rules when it comes to on-screen intimacy, which pushed the makers to opt for a direct to OTT release over a conventional theatrical release,” a source revealed to the portal.
“In Shakun’s film, Deepika plays a fitness trainer and shares screen space with both Siddhant Chaturvedi and Ananya Panday. Now, the film is based on an extramarital affair that complicates the relationship between Deepika and Ananya’s characters who are sisters. Apparently, the film contains a rather high amount of intimate scenes that will not go down too well with the censor board. And editing out the scenes will greatly impact the film overall,” the source added.
In August this year, Deepika, Siddhant, Ananya, and Dhairya had wrapped up the shoot of this film in Goa.
