Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone are both brilliant performers separately as well as together and we witnessed that in Piku. Since the two were so good together, it’s no surprise that they’re pairing up for another film.

Irrfan Khan and Deepika Padukone are both brilliant performers separately as well as together and we witnessed that in Piku. Since the two were so good together, it’s no surprise that they’re pairing up for another film. Irrfan Khan is known for doing substantial roles in films like Lunchbox and Madari. His upcoming film Hindi Medium starring our very own star, Saba Qamar, is also going to add to his list of thought provoking films.

We don’t expect them to do a typical rom-com together and their newest film is anything but that. Reports suggest that the two actors will be appearing in a gangster film, with Vishal Bhardwaj helming the project. The film is supposedly going to be about notorious gangster Dawood Ibrahim.

According to Bollywood Hungama, Deepika Padukone will be portraying the character of a mafia queen named Rahima Khan who was popularly known as Sapna Didi in the ‘80s. Irrfan Khan will be portraying the character of a local gangster who joins hands with Rahima as they try to kill the nefarious gangster. .

The untitled film is based on one of the chapters from journalist-turned- author S. Hussain Zaidi’s book, Mafia Queens of Mumbai. Vishal Bhardwaj has purchased the rights to the chapter for his film.
