Dad-to-be Ranbir Kapoor is all up about with the promotions of his upcoming film Shamshera. During a promotional spree, the actor spoke about his filmy journey from Saawariya to Shamshera. And that is when Deepika Padukone’s name cropped up. The duo had last shared screen space in the 2015 film Tamasha, which received much critical appreciation. Recalling his experience of working with Deepika in the film, Ranbir called her a ‘veteran’.
Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone have worked in many films together. Their last one was Imtiaz Ali’s 2015 film Tamasha. Speaking to Brut India, the Shamshera actor was all praise for Deepika. He said, “I don't think I have ever been so surprised by an actor's growth. Because I know Deepika so closely, I was so impressed. By the time we reached Tamasha, she was a veteran, you know, and she was surprising me with each shot, and everything she was doing.”
Ranbir then went on to talk about Deepika’s performance in the song Agar Tum Saath Ho from Tamasha. He said, “There are certain scenes that tilt towards an actor's character, and the scene really had my character arch because he was churning, he was going through something. But I think the way Deepika performed it, what Deepika brought to the table, she made it come alive because you really felt pain. And because of that, it was such a reactive scene. What I was doing, she was reacting, what she was doing, I was reacting.”
