Not only that, the good news is that her role will be beyond a cameo and a pivotal one! “Deepika has a good role because she plays Kapil’s wife Romi Bhatia who was also a pageant winner. In fact, as far as the story goes, she had left the stadium after India started losing the wickets. But when she heard that they are on the verge of winning the World Cup, she came back to the stadium. That part is extremely dramatic. Also, the film will delve into the relationship between the husband and wife, their love story,” adds the source.

She and Kabir have been friends for years now. So she decided to come on board as a co-producer, too. This will be the second venture under her banner.”
Now that’s multiple reasons to celebrate!
Meanwhile, Deepika is currently working on her next based on the life of acid attack survivor, Laxmi Agarwal – Chhapaak. It also stars Vikrant Massey and is being directed by Meghna Gulzar.
