Deepika pursued Vishal Bharadwaj for making Sapna Didi biopic!

Bollywood actress Deepika Padukone is happy after the great response her newest release, Padmaavat has got. The movie has opened to record-breaking figures and movie-goers have been going gaga about Deepika’s act in the movie.

Deepika will now move on to her next movie, Vishal Bharadwaj’s next based on the life of Sapna Didi. When a media source questioned Deepika about this, she told, “Of all the scripts I have heard in the last two years, I’ve been stuck on this one. He (Vishal Bharadwaj) brought this to me first, got me excited and then when I was ready to do it, he had moved on to something else. But, I persisted. It’s the one occasion where I pursued the director to make the film.”

About co-star Irrfan Khan with who she will be paired again after Piku she told, “He’s witty, smart and intelligent. I’m glad I’ll be bouncing my ideas off someone who’s a master at what he does. For an actor, that’s going to be challenging but also exciting.”

She also spoke about her personal life and revealed, “It’s important to retain a bit of yourself for yourself- that’s what will keep you alive as a person. Also, you have to be careful, because a lot of what is posted on social media is merely projection. I work in the field of mental health, so I know the negative aspects of it and the kind of repercussions it can have on young minds. It’s important to find a balance.”

Deepika’s lovely reply to Irrfan Khan's excitement of working with her again!

International diva Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan are soon going to work together for Sapna Didi biopic. The twosome will be working together for the second time after Piku. Their mature and playful chemistry in Piku was praised by the viewers.

Well, lately Irrfan told that he is excited to work with the dimpled actress again. DP has a sweet reaction to Khan's excitement of working with her. In a tweet, her response reflects that she is equally excited to work with him.

Irrfan revealed a tabloid, "I will always be excited to work with Deepika. I am all the more excited this time (as to) how our chemistry (will) work. In this film, I am not (portraying) a decent or civilised man, so our equation in this film is completely (different from 'Piku')."

He further added, "She is the most beautiful person and a good human being. It gives me happiness when I see Deepika."

An admirer had posted Irrfan's quote to Deepika which she quote tweeted stating, "exactly mythoughts...@irrfank".

Deepika-Irrfan Khan starrer is inspired by real life of Sapna Didi?

Bollywood stars Deepika Padukone and Irrfan Khan are finally team up for the second time in a gangster based movie which is being directed by debutant Honey Trehan. The movie is adapted from S Hussain Zaidi’s book, Mafia Queens of Mumbai and is seemingly based on the life and times of Ashraf Khan, popularly known as Sapna Didi. But, lately makers specified that the movie is fictional and is not yet titled.

Speaking about it, a source said to a famous daily, "To avoid any litigation from her family members, the makers decided that they will adapt the film to suit the cinematic vision of the filmmaker."

When Hussain was asked about it, he specified, "There is no confusion between Vishal and me. We are constantly discussing the story."

He further added, "Since movies provide you with a grand canvas, the story will depart from reality. Some characters will be fictionalised."

The movie will go on floors early next year and hit the screens next year in the month of October. The movie is produced by Prernaa Arora (KriArj Entertainment).
