On the work front, Deepika is busy working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati. She will be seen essaying the lead role of Rani Padmini in the film. The period drama has been unlucky so far, thanks to protesters vandalizing the sets of the film on more than one occasion. It will also star Ranveer Singh and Shahid Kapoor in lead roles and is slated to release in November.
Post her Hollywood debut, xXx: Return Of Xander Cage this year, Deepika is yet to announce anything else coming up on the Hollywood front. In fact, she will also be giving Cannes 2017 a miss, owing to work on Padmavati.
Deepika’s Hindi film journey began with Om Shanti Om in 2007, and she has been on a roll ever since, showcasing her versatility as an actor suitable for content-driven movies like Piku, Finding Fanny, Tamasha as well as for mainstream entertainers like Bajirao Mastani and Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani.
