Shoojit Sircar looking to work with Deepika Padukone again

Their last venture ‘Piku’ (2015) won much critical acclaim, so it comes as no surprise that filmmaker Shoojit Sircar wants to team up with Deepika Padukone yet again.

“Deepika is one of my favourites. Whenever my writers and I talk, we always think, ‘what can we do with Deepika’ because I’m so fond of her. It was a brilliant experience working with her. Frankly, while working on ‘Piku’, I saw the real actress and real creativity in her; and what she is as a soul,” Box Office Capsule, reports Sircar stating.

He went on to add how he is already working on something with Padukone in mind. “My revelation was that she is a simple, girl-next-door soul, despite having done many other films and potboilers. Now, I am working on and thinking about something wherein Deepika and I can work together. So, we’ll soon chat about it,” he said.

In the meantime, Padukone is in the midst of her forthcoming Sanjay Leela Bhansali venture, ‘Padmavati’, with Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh.
