In
her
latest
tete-a-tete
with
Hindustan
Times,
Deepika
Padukone
opens
up
about
her
next
film,
which
will
be
helmed
by
Shakun
Batra.
The
film
also
casts
Siddhant
Chaturvedi
and
Ananya
Panday
in
the
lead
roles
alongside
Deepika.
Giving
a
sneak
peek
into
her
next
project,
Deepika
said
that
one
can't
call
Shakun's
film
'light'.
However,
in
terms
of
emotional
turmoil,
the
overall
tonality
of
the
film
is
slightly
lighter
than
her
recent
films.
Deepika
said,
"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."
"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," added
the
Piku
actress.
Apart
from
Shakun
Batra's
directorial,
she
will
also
be
seen
in
the
Hindi
remake
of
The
Intern,
which
originally
casted
Anne
Hathaway
and
Robert
De
Niro
in
the
lead
roles.
In
the
Hindi
remake,
Deepika
will
share
screen
space
with
Rishi
Kapoor
and
the
film
is
slated
to
hit
the
theatres
in
2021.
Speaking
of
doing
the
Hindi
remake
of
The
Intern,
Deepika
said,
"I
finally
came
across
as
something
that's
going
to
be
endearing,
light-hearted
and
relatable.
The
theme
of
the
film
is
universal."
