Deepika Padukone is one of India's most popular stars

Frankly, while working on Piku, I saw the real actress and real creativity in her
“It was a brilliant experience working with her.
“Frankly, while working on Piku, I saw the real actress and real creativity in her; and what she is as a soul.
“My revelation was that she is a simple, girl-next-door soul, despite having done many other films and potboilers.”
He added: “Now, I am working on and thinking about something wherein Deepika and I can work together. So, we’ll soon chat about it.”
