Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone worked together in Piku along with Amitabh Bachchan. The film received positive reviews and did well at the box office. The two actors also bonded on the sets and have been friends since then. Recently, Irrfan, who is busy in promoting his upcoming film Qarib Qarib Singlle, was asked about Deepika Padukone’s upcoming film Padmavati and this is what a source said, “Irrfan had all praise for Deepika’s look and her role. He told media that he has read the script of Padmavati and it is one of the beautiful scripts he has ever read. He also complimented her and showed his support for the film.”

Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Padmavati stars Ranveer Singh as Alauddin Khilji and Shahid Kapoor as Rawal Ratan Singh. Ever since the first trailer and a song was released, the team is receiving positive feedback from audience and the industry.

Incidentally, Irrfan is all set to work with Deepika again in Sapna Didi. The film is said to be a biopic on 80’s mafia queen Rahima Khan. It will be directed by Honey Trehan and produced by Vishal Bhardwaj. Both the actors will soon start preparation for their roles and the film is slated to go on floor in few months. It is set to release in October next year.
