DNA (October 8, 2018)

Come November, Deepika Padukone will marry Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh. But once she returns from her honeymoon, the Padmaavat actress will get into work mode again. Reports of her playing acid-attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal in Meghna Gulzar’s next have already made the rounds. DP is also meant to co-produce this film. There are reports that she has heard Luv Ranjan’s script for his next directorial venture that stars Ajay Devgn and Ranbir Kapoor. 

If things fall into place, this will be the award-winning actress’ fourth film with the Sanju actor. The two have a good track record with movies like Bachna Ae Haseeno (2008), Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (2013) and Tamasha (2015) to their credit. This will, however, be the first time that she will share screen space with Ajay. A source says, “Deepika has just heard the synopsis. Nothing has been finalised yet. But it is an exciting project and just the fact that she has shown interest is a good sign.”

Before these two films, DP was all set to work with director Vishal Bhardwaj on a project that was also supposed to feature her Piku co-star Irrfan Khan. But it was indefinitely postponed as Irrfan is convalescing in London after he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. The actress is said to have returned the signing amount to Vishal. With wedding bells around the corner, the leggy lass will now have both her films release post her shaadi.
