Rohit Shetty on why Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone did not have scenes together

Director Rohit Shetty recently revealed why the two-star couple Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone didn’t have any scenes together in the cop drama. In an interview with News 18, Rohit Shetty said that it was a conscious decision to avoid banter between the real-life couple on screen.

He said, “I would have loved to do that… but, because we were dealing with Ranveer as Lord Hanuman’s character… he was a reflection of Hanuman Ji’s character and it would have gone wrong for us. So, we were worried about that.” He explained, “Everyone on the set questioned that if we can have a banter between Akshay Kumar and Ranveer, why can’t we also have a banter between Ranveer and Deepika? Could have done in a better way, but it was a conscious decision.”

He further added, “A lot of things were a conscious decision that, ‘No, we can’t do this or no, we cannot say this line.’ Otherwise, definitely, there would have been a scene between them. But, could have gone wrong. And that’s something I can’t compromise on.”
