Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, who will direct Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone in a yet-untitled film, says he is looking forward to working with the actress.
Talking about the film which was earlier supposed to be directed by his assistant director Honey Trehan, Bhardwaj said: “I wrote the script of that film one to two years ago, but now I am directing it. So I am looking forward to work with Deepika because I like her body of work. She is a beautiful actress and I feel the camera loves her.”
He is also excited about collaborating with Khan. “After a long time, I am doing a full-fledged film with Khan as a main protagonist. After Maqbool, I worked with him in Saat Khoon Maaf and Haider, in which he had small roles. So, I am really excited that I am getting an opportunity to work with Khan in a full-fledged film,” he said.
On the buzz over Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavat, which is now scheduled to release on January 25, Bhardwaj said: “I am really happy that Padmavat is releasing and it is getting a proper release. But I have read that the film is not releasing in Rajasthan. So, I am feeling little sad for it as I feel that film should have been released in the entire country when the censor board has given it the green signal.”
