Shah Rukh Khan Predicted Deepika Padukone’s Role in ‘Singham’ During ‘Chennai Express’
On August 8, 2024, the blockbuster film ‘Chennai Express’ celebrated its 11th anniversary. To mark the occasion, actress Deepika Padukone shared a nostalgic behind-the-scenes video featuring her and Shah Rukh Khan, offering fans a glimpse into the fun and camaraderie they shared during the making of the film.
In the video, Shah Rukh Khan seemingly predicts that Deepika will one day be part of Rohit Shetty’s ‘Singham’ franchise. Interestingly, Deepika humorously plays along by mimicking the iconic ‘Singham’ gesture, which fans have now seen come true with her recent role in the franchise.
The video also captures a playful moment where Deepika asks SRK if he is a “macho babe,” to which he amusingly denies. Additionally, the video includes heartwarming scenes with choreographer Farah Khan, who gave Deepika her big break in Bollywood with ‘Om Shanti Om.’
Deepika captioned the video with a playful challenge, asking fans how many times they think she had to repeat a specific dialogue from the film. She quipped that the correct answer would win “Ek Bakwaas Dictionary.”
Last year, on the film’s 10th anniversary, Deepika had shared her thoughts on the challenges of playing the comedic role of Meenama, a character that remains beloved by audiences.
‘Chennai Express,’ released in 2013, starred Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Sathyaraj, and Nikitin Dheer, and continues to be cherished by fans worldwide.
