New Delhi: One of the most-awaited events of this year is King of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan’s return to the big screens. While all his fans have been eagerly waiting for this moment, his co-star Deepika Padukone spilled the beans about his return to the big screen with ‘Pathan’.
While giving a recent interview to Femina, the ‘Piku’ star spoke about her future projects and, in the process, Padukone spoke about her upcoming movie with King Khan himself. She said, “So, I immediately started with Shakun Batra’s film, which is a relationship story that we haven’t seen in Indian cinema before. Then there is Pathan, an action film with Shah Rukh Khan, next is Nag Ashwin’s multilingual film with Prabhas. Then I am doing which is a remake of Anne Hathaway’s movie The Intern, which is so relevant in today’s times when you have the millennial and the older generation coming together. And then, the most famous story coming out of our country, Mahabharata, in which I am playing Draupadi; I want to tell that story to the world.”
With full of projects in her hands, when asked which project she is most excited about, Deepika was quoted saying by the publication, “That is like having five different children and being asked to choose one. I have always been someone who only says ‘yes’ to a project when it comes from my gut, and I know I have something special to offer as a character.”
“This year I am going to be doing five films. I think in some ways the pandemic panned out creatively because it was a time when people in the arts were writing and they were coming to me with stories I really connected with. By August/September, I knew what my line-up was for the next couple of months”, she added.
Meanwhile, other than Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, ‘Pathan’ also stars John Abraham in the role of the antagonist. According to reports, the film might also witness a cameo by Salman Khan.
