10 Years of Chennai Express: Ranveer Singh says he was flabbergasted seeing Deepika Padukone play Meenamma: “Owned the character and aced the genre”
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone starrer Chennai Express has completed 10 years since its release. Deepika’s role that continues to stand out is her very iconic role of Meenamma. Even Ranveer Singh agrees that she owned the character and aced the comedy genre.
On the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the movie, Deepika Padukone shared a video of herself with Ranveer Singh, who was then donning the look of Bajirao Peshwa from Bajirao Mastani. The video sees them reenacting the iconic ‘bakwas dictionary’ dialogue. She wrote, “They say that comedy is the most difficult genre for an actor. So when I was offered ‘Chennai Express’, I knew I had a daunting challenge ahead of me. And while it took me a little while to find Meenama, a process that is extremely lonely and often times frightening, I’m grateful that we were able to create a character that is not only synonymous with the movie, but also one that continues to receive an abundance of love till this date.”
Ranveer Singh left a comment praising his superstar wife and said, “THANGABALi !!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha! Cult stuff ! Simply one of the best comedic performance ever! I was flabbergasted when I saw you as Meenamma! Owned the character and aced the genre! Same year as Naina and Leela! The range.”
Released in 2013, Chennai Express was one of the biggest blockbusters of the year that swept all the major awards.
On the work front, Deepika Padukone will next be seen in Fighter alongside Hrithik Roshan and in Nag Ashwin's Kalki 2898 AD with Amitabh Bachchan, Kamal Haasan and Prabhas.
