After hogging all the limelight with their fairytale wedding, Deepika Padukone and Ranveer Singh will soon return to work. While Ranveer will start promoting his upcoming release Simmba, his better half will begin preparations for her next film which is still untitled.
To be helmed by Raazi (2018) filmmaker Meghna Gulzar, the movie is a biopic on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. The latest we hear that the team will start shooting for the much-anticipated movie in March, 2019.
Director Meghna Gulzar has confirmed the same. Meanwhile, she is presently busy with fine-tuning the script before kick-starting the shoot in March, next year. The director also adds that she is glad that people believe that it’s an important subject which should be brought to everyone’s attention through a movie.
Apart from playing the female lead, Deepika Padukone will also co-produce the yet-to-be-titled project. It will mark her debut as a producer.
