Ranveer would say Shakun and you would make a great film together: Deepika Padukone

The trailer of Shakun Batra’s much awaited relationship drama ‘Gehraiyaan’ dropped today. The film will be released on Amazon Prime Video on February 11. 

In a virtual press conference, the film’s lead actors (Deepika Padukone, Siddhant Chaturvedi, Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa) along with the makers spoke about the film and more.

At the virtual trailer launch of the movie, Deepika revealed, 

“Shakun has been on my list. Ranveer would say Shakun and you would make a great film together. I met Shakun a few years ago, and we hit it off instantly. Deep down I knew we would make a film someday. It didn't feel like a director pitching an idea. It felt like a friend. The film has evolved from what it was when I first heard it. We had trust and faith in each other and that's why we could make such a brave film.”

This is the first time Deepika, Siddhant and Ananya will be seen sharing the screen space in a film. 

Deepika Padukone, Ananya Panday and Siddhant Chaturvedi are in a love triangle in the film. From what we could gather, Deepika and Ananya play cousins in the film. 

While Ananya is dating Siddhant, Deepika is leading her own life with her boyfriend (Dhairya Karwa). Things go haywire when Ananya introduces her cousin (Deepika) to her boyfriend and a steamy affair ensues.

Apart from this, Deepika has films like Siddharth Anand’s ‘Pathan’ with Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham and ‘Fighter’ with Hrithik Roshan. 

She will also be seen reuniting with her ‘Piku’ co-star in ‘The Intern’ remake and Nag Ashwin’s untitled next with Prabhas
