Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi was introduced in India in January when he made an announcement about his upcoming film Beyond The Clouds and which is shot in India. The movie has Ishaan Khattar and Malavika Mohanan in lead roles.
The 58-year-old filmmaker has finally spoken about why Deepika Padukone wasn’t included in the movie. Apparently, a picture of Deepika was floating on the internet because of which rumours of Deepika being a part of the movie started.
Majid has now clarified this thing while he was in a conversation with Pune Mirror, “I didn’t want to work with Bollywood superstars. I always wanted to shoot at different locations in Mumbai, because places are also characters in my films. But even for one audition, it was difficult with Deepika (Padukone) as there was a large crowd and even more curiosity. That was the reason for not wanting to cast a superstar,” he explains.
