Deepika Padukone Quits Amitabh Bachchan's Film Weeks After 8-Hour Shift Debate
In a move that has taken fans and industry insiders by surprise, Deepika Padukone has officially stepped away from the Hindi adaptation of The Intern, according to a Mid-Day report. The film, which was generating strong buzz due to its heartwarming storyline and star-studded cast, will now move forward without the leading lady who once championed the project.
Initially announced as both producer and lead actress for the remake of the 2015 Hollywood hit starring Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro, Deepika's involvement had heightened anticipation. Her pairing with veteran actor and her 'Piku' co-star Amitabh Bachchan, who stepped in for the late Rishi Kapoor, only added to the film's star power. But she will still be associated with the film as a producer. "This time, Deepika will step away from acting in the film to serve solely as a producer, overseeing the creative and logistical reboot. A new leading lady is being cast to play the part she was once slated to perform," a source close to the film informed the portal.
Announced in 2020, the Hindi remake of The Intern has faced multiple delays and is yet to go on floors.
