What’s next for Deepika Padukone after Tamasha and Bajirao Mastani? That’s the big question. The actress who has done a drama (Piku), a romance (Tamasha) and a period drama (Bajirao Mastani), is looking to do something different.
Sriram Raghavan, known for his thrillers, has a few scripts in mind and post Badlapur, he has started working on the adaptation of Vikas Swarup’s The Accidental Apprentice. He previously told us, “I am finishing the scripting for that film and I have already sounded the story off to Deepika. Let’s see.”
Dippy confirms, “I have been in talks with Sriram about that film. I have just been approached for it, but I haven’t signed it yet.” Although the story got her excited, she hasn’t ‘read the novel yet’. “Sriram is getting his script in place. He has not asked me to read the book. Once he finishes scripting, we will sit for a narration and then I will decide. As of now, I have been approached for a few films, but I haven’t signed anything yet,” she states.
