Ananya
Panday,
who
made
her
debut
with
Student
Of
The
Year
2,
is
all
set
to
share
screen
space
with
Deepika
Padukone
in
Shakun
Batra's
untitled
movie.
The
film
stars
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
as
the
male
lead.
Ananya
is
quite
excited
to
work
with
Padmaavat
actress
and
while
speaking
with
a
leading
daily,
said
that
with
Deepika,
it
feels
like
working
with
a
friend.
The
Pati
Patni
Aur
Woh
actress
was
quoted
as
saying
by
Mumbai
Mirror,
"You
don't
feel
like
she
is
a
star
overpowering
you.
It
feels
like
being
with
a
friend.
Deepika
is
more
beautiful
on
the
inside
than
on
the
outside."
Reportedly,
this
film
is
a
domestic
noir.
Spilling
the
beans
about
the
movie,
Deepika
earlier
told
a
leading
daily,
"To
be
honest,
you
can't
call
Shakun's
film
'light'
either.
Although
the
overall
tonality
of
the
film
is
slightly
lighter
than
my
last
film,
in
terms
of
inner,
emotional
turmoil
my
character
goes
through,
it's
quite
challenging.
The
overall
genre
of
the
film
is
something
we
haven't
seen
much
in
Indian
cinema,
it's
called
domestic
noir.
I
don't
think
that's
a
genre
we
are
very
familiar
with,
but
at
the
same
time
the
audience
is
completely
ready
for
it,
as
we
have
been
exposed
to
that
genre
in
different
ways,
whether
through
Hollywood
films
or
OTT
platforms."
She
further
added,
"What
I
enjoy
and
look
forward
to,
as
far
as
this
film
is
concerned,
Shakun
has
this
strong
point
with
people
and
relationships.
As
an
audience/
actor
I
have
enjoyed
watching
and
performing
these
sort
of
films,
whether
Piku
(2015),
Tamasha
(2015),
Love
Aaj
Kal,
films
that
deal
with
intricate
human
relationships."
Ananya
also
opened
up
about
working
with
Shakun
Batra
and
said,
"I
told
him
that
I'd
do
anything
he
directs.
I
am
just
going
to
sit
there
like
a
student
and
try
to
absorb
as
much
as
I
can."
Shakun
Batra's
last
directorial
was
the
2016
film
Kapoor
&
Sons.
The
film
received
rave
reviews
from
the
critics
and
stars
Alia
Bhatt,
Sidharth
Malhotra
and
Fawad
Khan.
