Deepika Padukone’s film with Hrithik Roshan, titled Fighter, is finally out in theatres after much anticipation. The film is being well received by the audience and they are lauding director Siddharth Anand’s aerial action venture. While Deepika basks in the success of her latest film, she was recently asked why she picks films with stories driven by men – Pathaan, Fighter, Singham Again to name a few.
Deepika replied, “Yeah sure, wait for Shakti Shetty.” Shakti Shetty is the name of Deepika’s character in Singham Again. Rohit Shetty revealed earlier that after Singham Again, Deepika will get a standalone film as Shakti. Deepika continued, “But to complete my thought, you never anyway never do anything alone. I don’t think women can succeed without men and men can’t succeed without women. I think we need to rephrase the definition of feminism.”
She was also asked if there was space in her career to do a film like Piku again. Deepika said, “The space is there, the writers have to write. It will happen, I think it is just a matter of time. Post-COVID, everyone felt a bit rattled. It was a new experience everyone was coming out of and we made a lot of assumptions about where we are headed. We are jumping too soon in this journey of what’s working, and what’s not working, that only big-budget films (are working)… You invest in stories, you invest in characters, you invest in people, you invest in the journey.”
Rumours are rife that she has bagged a Hollywood project – the third season of the superhit show White Lotus. While Deepika has not yet confirmed these rumours, a screenshot emerged on Reddit, featuring her mother-in-law Anju Bhavnani’s X (formerly Twitter) account. The account had liked three posts about Deepika’s rumoured appearance on the show.
