Deepika Padukone confirmed being a part of Ranveer Singh starrer ’83’ just a while ago. She has been roped in to play the wife of Kapil Dev, the character which is being portrayed by Ranveer. Romi Dev isn’t someone who likes to be in the limelight a lot, but from what we have known of her, her most striking feature is her boy cut hairdo. Will Deepika chop off her locks to get the look perfect as Romi? The actress’ answer was quite shocking.
“Well, you will have to wait and watch,” laughed off Deepika while speaking to Bombay Times when asked about the boy cut hairdo. Deepika is known to delve deep into the look of her characters. Even her next film ‘Chhapaak’ will showcase her as an acid attack victim, and her first look from the film made everybody stand up and clap for her. It was so good.
Moving on, Deepika also opened up about how the script of ’83’ was an instant ‘yes’ from her side. “I am so glad that Kabir (Khan) came to me with it. This happened a couple of months ago when he was still casting the boys for the film. It’s just that I was busy with ‘Chhappak’ and we were waiting for the right moment to make the announcement,” she said while talking to Bombay Times.
So, will Deepika meet Kapil Dev’s wife, Romi, to get into the skin of the character? “There isn’t a lot of material available on her. I have met her a few times, including our wedding reception, and I have interacted with her socially over the years. I am also referring to whatever material the director’s team has sent across to me. My parents have known their family for many years. So, I feel I know her and hope that she is proud and happy with the film. I intend to connect and spend some time with her before I start filming to be able to understand her perspective better,” said Deepika Padukone during her Bombay Times interview.
Deepika Padukone has been making headlines for taking up a hard hitting subject like ‘Chhapaak’ for her debut production venture. The first look of the film made people pour in praises from all corners. The leggy lass has wrapped up the shooting of the film since and now, is all geared up to start ’83’.
We are super excited to see Deepika Padukone sport boy cut hair for the first time. Let’s wait and watch whether that look also gets appreciated as much as her look as ‘Malti’ from ‘Chhapaak’ received.
