Deepika
Padukone
had
announced
The
Intern
remake
in
April
2021
alongside
superstar
Amitabh
Bachchan,
much
to
the
happiness
of
their
fans.
The
movie
is
a
Hindi
remake
of
the
hit
2015
Hollywood
movie
starring
Anne
Hathaway
and
Robert
De
Niro
in
the
lead
roles.
Now
the
actress
has
given
a
new
development
surrounding
the
same
and
has
revealed
that
the
movie
will
go
on
floors
soon.
Talking
to
Mid-Day
about
the
same,
Deepika
Padukone
revealed
that
the
third
wave
of
COVID-19
had
delayed
the
plans
of
rolling
the
film.
The
Yeh
Jawaani
Hai
Deewani
actress
said,
"The
Intern
will
happen
this
year,
or
early
2023.
The
third
wave
wasn't
anticipated,
so
it
threw
a
few
things
off
course."
Announcing
the
film
in
April
last
year,
Deepika
Padukone
had
written,
"What
an
absolute
honour
to
be
collaborating
with
one
of
my
most
special
co-stars
again.
Welcoming
@amitabhbachchan
to
the
Indian
adaptation
of
#TheIntern." The
movie
will
mark
the
Happy
New
Year
actress'
third
collaboration
with
Amitabh
Bachchan.
The
duo
was
earlier
seen
in
movies
like
Arakshan
and
Piku.
The
movie
will
be
helmed
by
Amit
Sharma
who
has
earlier
directed
movies
like
Badhaai
Ho
and
Tevar.
The
director
had
earlier
revealed
in
a
statement,
"The
Intern
is
an
intimate,
relationship-driven
film,
set
in
and
around
the
workplace;
a
story
that
I
believe
is
very
relevant
to
the
present-day
social
and
cultural
environment.
I
have
been
looking
for
a
light,
breezy
comedy
drama
and
this
story
fits
in
seamlessly.
I
cannot
wait
to
begin
this
journey," Deepika
had
said
in
a
statement
last
year."
For
the
unversed,
the
movie
was
originally
supposed
to
star
the
late
Rishi
Kapoor
alongside
Deepika
Padukone.
However,
after
his
unfortunate
demise
in
April
2020,
the
makers
roped
in
Amitabh
Bachchan
for
the
role.
The
plot
of
the
original
movie
revolves
around
a
middle-aged
widower
who
gets
a
job
as
an
intern
in
the
company
of
a
go-getter
career
woman
and
how
the
two
strikes
an
unexpected
friendship.
Apart
from
this,
Deepika
Padukone
is
basking
in
the
appreciation
for
her
performance
in
Gehraiyaan.
The
actress
will
also
be
seen
in
films
like
Pathan
and
Fighter.
She
also
has
the
pan-India
film
Project
K
alongside
Prabhas.
