Bollywood superstar Ranveer Singh recently shared his immense enthusiasm for his wife, Deepika Padukone’s, upcoming film directed by South Indian cinema maestro Atlee. He described the project as something truly unique and beyond anything audiences have witnessed before.
This currently untitled movie is being hailed as a “magnum opus” and marks Deepika’s highly anticipated reunion with Atlee, following their blockbuster success with Shah Rukh Khan in 2023’s Jawan. The film is produced by Sun Pictures.
“I had the opportunity to visit him (Atlee) on the sets of his current film because my wife (Deepika) was shooting there,” Ranveer revealed at a recent event. “You might have heard whispers, but take it from me: he is crafting something that will deliver a cinematic experience unlike any other in Indian cinema.”
Ranveer, known for his roles in films such as Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, 83, Padmaavat, and Band Baaja Baarat, himself recently collaborated with Atlee on an advertisement. He also mentioned that he has been a devoted admirer of Atlee’s work long before the director gained widespread acclaim with Jawan.
“Before he became a household name with Jawan and rose to become one of India’s biggest directors, I had messaged him after Mersal (2017), telling him, ‘I love your cinema, you should come to Mumbai, and we should create movies together,'” Ranveer reminisced. “That was years ago; I always wanted to collaborate with Atlee sir.”
