Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, two of the nation's biggest megastars, are collaborating on the Yash Raj Films film Pathaan. As a result of their successful films Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year, they are one of the most adored on-screen duos. Deepika discusses her special relationship with SRK, which has never failed to produce a hit film, in a video posted by the production company Yash Raj Films.
Deepika says, “Shah Rukh & I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to work in some incredible movies starting with Om Shanti Om! I’m collaborating with my favourite co-star Shah Rukh. We have a beautiful relationship and I think the audience always sees that in the movies that we do”.
She shares the secret to SRK and DP's electric chemistry in Pathaan. She adds, “Well, he and I can both take credit for that. Again he was also on this intense diet and exercise. So, he and I can both take credit for the work we have put individually. But at the end of the day, it is the team that you work with.”
“Whether it is the director (Siddharth Anand) and his vision or it’s the cinematographer (Satchith Paulose) and how he is envisioning lighting us, whether it’s the stylist (Shaleena Nathani) - how she envisions these characters, whether it is your hair and make-up team. So, it’s your entire team that sort of comes together. So sure you can put in the work and do the best you can but you also have incredible world-class professionals who come in and make us look the way we do!”, she continued.
Pathaan holds a very significant place in Deepika's filmography. She will portray a cunning spy and be seen doing breath-taking action scenes. “The character that I am playing in this movie is extremely exciting. It is something that I haven't done before and even the movie - just this kind of spy thriller, an out-and-out action movie is something I haven't done before,“ she explains.
Pathaan is a part of Aditya Chopra's grandiose spy world. It stars the country's biggest stars, Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and John Abraham. On January 25, 2023, Pathaan will be released in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.
