Here’s everything you need to know about Deepika Padukone’s superhero flick

After the release of Padmaavat, Deepika Padukone is yet to sing a film. Reportedly, she was waiting for the right project that she felt was suitable for her after Padmaavat. Although there is no confirmation yet, rumours are suggesting that Deepika has signed her next film in which she will be a part of the country’s first female superhero franchise.

The script is yet to be finalised, although sources suggest that Deepika has given her nod to the project. 

According to reports, the makers will take inspiration from the popular DC character Wonder Woman for the film. Deepika’s look in the film will draw inspiration from Gal Gadot's character. A source close the film spoke about the same to a leading daily. He said, “The costume will be sexy, not contrived or gimmicky. Since Deepika has an envious figure, a special outfit is being designed for her character which will be custom-made to facilitate hardcore physical combat and movement.”

The source added, “Deepika’s avatar is being fashioned after Gal Gadot’s in Wonder Woman. The developments have been kept under wraps with a creative team holding discreet meetings with Deepika on a regular basis. Presently, a running bid is on for Rs 300 crore among multiple investors.”

The source also mentioned that Deepika will undergo intense training for the film. He said, “The 32-year-old-actress will begin training extensively in mixed martial arts and different styles of hand-to-hand combat. Since this is a first-of-its-kind mega project, the timelines for pre-production will be long and the project will go on the floors next year.”

Deepika was supposed to be seen in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next in which also starred Irrfan Khan. But, due to Irrfan’s health condition, the project has been postponed indefinitely.
