Deepika Padukone to kick-off her next in March 2019

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.

'My Brilliant Career' review: Netflix makes a 125-year-old feminist story feel dangerously modern

Highlights

  • Netflix’s six-part series adapts Miles Franklin’s 1901 feminist novel
  • Phillipa Northeast stars as Sybylla Melvyn, a young writer determined to avoid the life chosen for her
  • The adaptation combines period drama with modern music, frank sexuality and stories of racism and social inequality

An erotic poem, a scandalised grandmother and a young woman with little interest in marriage make for an unexpectedly lively opening to My Brilliant Career. Netflix’s six-part adaptation of Miles Franklin’s 1901 novel wastes little time establishing that this will not be a restrained period drama.

Adapted by Liz Doran, the series follows Sybylla Melvyn, a fiercely independent young woman who dreams of becoming a writer. It follows Gillian Armstrong’s acclaimed 1979 film starring Judy Davis and Sam Neill, but brings a distinctly contemporary energy to Franklin’s story.
