In an interview with India Today, Deepika said, “Everyone came from the same place of wanting this man, who is part of our pop culture, to succeed. But for me, it is also my personal relationship with him that wants the best for him. I wanted the film to do well for him professionally as well as for his family.”

She further said, “For a film to succeed, your intention needs to be pure. Deep down, we wished and prayed that it did well. There’s no logic to this. As I was telling Shah Rukh and Gauri (his wife), these are love and blessings that are coming back.”

Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film also stars John Abraham, Dimple Kapadia, and Ashutosh Rana. On the work front, Deepika Padukone will next star in Siddharth Anand’s Fighter and Nag Ashwin’s Project K.
