Deepika Padukone may not be doing Prabhas’ Spirit and Kalki 28988 AD but she has Shah Rukh Khan’s King and ‘Jawan’ director Atlee’s sci-fi drama with Allu Arjun that’s yet to get a title.
A source close to the project shares, “She has a fierce part, which is essential to the first and second acts of the narrative.” This confirms what many had speculated — that Deepika’s role is not a cameo or a fleeting appearance, but a well-etched character woven into the heart of the story with Allu Arjun.
The source further adds, said, “Allu is playing the entire family tree in Atlee’s next film. He will be seen as a grandfather, father, and two sons in the film, making it a quadruple role for Allu. This would mark the first multiple role film of his career.”
The source added, “However, Allu insisted on playing all four characters himself. At first, Atlee was hesitant, but on doing the look test, he felt this worked in favour of the film. The audiences will get to see 4 different avatars of Allu Arjun at the price of one ticket.”
Deepika Padukone, who made it to the top five of IMDb’s list of ‘Indian Cinema’s Most Prolific Headliners’ in the last 25 years, said she was often told how to navigate her career path as a woman but she was never afraid to challenge the status quo.
The list was topped by Shah Rukh Khan topped the list, with Aamir Khan and Hrithik Roshan securing the second position, and Deepika Padukone ranking third.
“When I began my journey, I was often told how a woman must or is expected to navigate her career in order to be successful. However, from the very beginning, I was never afraid to ask questions, ruffle feathers, walk a more difficult path and challenge the status quo in order to reshape the mould we have all been expected to fit into,” Padukone told IMDb.
