Ananya Panday thrilled about working with Deepika Padukone

Ananya Panday, who entered Bollywood with Dharma Productions’ college-caper Student Of The Year 2 (2019), has her plate full with several exciting projects. Last seen in T-Series Films and B. R. Studios’ superhit comic-caper Pati Patni Aur Woh (2019), the actress next stars in Khaali Peeli alongside Ishaan Khatter.

After Khaali Peeli, which has been produced by Ali Abbas Zafar, Ananya Panday headlines Dharma Productions’ next with director Shakun Batra of Kapoor & Sons (2016 fame. Besides her, the yet to be titled film also features Deepika Padukone and Siddhant Chaturvedi in lead roles.


Reportedly, the project was set to take off in the month of April, but the entire shooting schedule went for a complete toss when the government imposed a nationwide lockdown due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

Though the film may take some time before beginning production, Ananya Panday is excited about being part of a Shakun Batra directorial and, also, working with Deepika Padukone. Talking to a publication, the newcomer said that she gave her nod to the film as soon as she heard Shakun will helm it. “I told him that I would do anything he directs. I am just going to sit there like a student and try to absorb as much as I can,” said the actress.

Working with Deepika Padukone had always been on Panday’s bucket-list and now that she is finally going to share the screen space with her, she is super thrilled about the same. “You don’t feel like she is a star overpowering you. It feels like being with a friend. Deepika is more beautiful on the inside than on the outside,” Panday had said earlier.

They have simply put a new house on a very, very old foundation.
