Deepika Padukone in no hurry to sign more films?

Deepika Padukone was last seen in maverick filmmaker Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s gobsmackingly epic Padmaavat (2018). Right after the release of the movie, she got busy with her wedding preparations. After getting hitched to uber-cool Ranveer Singh in November last year, the actress teamed up with filmmaker Meghna Gulzar for Chhapaak, a real-life story based on acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal.

Apart from playing the female lead in Chhapaak, Padukone has also turned producer with the project. The actress finished shooting for the movie a couple of months ago. She recently joined husband Ranveer Singh on the cast of 83, which a sports biopic chronicling the unprecedented win of Indian cricket team against West Indies in the 1983 Cricket World Cup tournament. While Ranveer Singh plays Kapil Dev in the movie, Deepika Padukone will be seen as his wife Romi Dev.

In 83, Deepika Padukone has a brief role as the film primarily revolves around the men in blue. The Bajirao Mastani (2015) actress has reportedly been offered a number of films in last few months, but she has been on a rejection spree. “Deepika is enjoying her time doing the films that she likes to do. She is currently in no hurry to add more films to her filmography. She has been hearing few scripts, but nothing has caught her interest by far,” a source close to the development reveals to an Indian daily.

If sources are to be believed, Padukone has also been reading a couple of web series scripts. She has even liked some ideas. It will be interesting to know if she signs new films or explores the digital world.
