Deepika Padukone has responded to a fan's request for her to star in a romantic comedy with Ranbir Kapoor, fueling excitement among fans who have long admired their on-screen chemistry. The interaction occurred after an Instagram user, Sonalika Puri, posted a reel appealing to Bollywood directors and producers to cast Padukone and Kapoor in a rom-com, suggesting it would guarantee box office success.
The reel quickly gained traction, and Padukone herself liked the post and added a comment expressing her enthusiasm for the idea. She remarked on the significant buzz generated by their public appearances and speculated about the potential impact of their reunion on screen. Padukone emphasized their talent and how good they look together and urged filmmakers to write a good script for them.
This isn't the first time the topic of Padukone and Kapoor reuniting has surfaced. The pair has starred in three films: "Bachna Ae Haseeno" (2008), "Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani" (2013), and "Tamasha" (2015). Their on-screen chemistry has been a major draw for audiences, making them a beloved Bollywood pair. They were also in a relationship for two years after working together in "Bachna Ae Haseeno" but broke up in 2010. Deepika later married Ranveer Singh in 2019.
The fan's reel specifically addressed the recent struggles of Bollywood films at the box office, suggesting that casting Padukone and Kapoor together could be a solution. The user highlighted the pair's ability to draw audiences to theaters, emphasizing their combined star power.
Padukone's response has ignited a flurry of reactions on social media. Many fans have expressed their excitement and hope for a future collaboration between the two stars. Some fans speculated that Padukone's approval meant she was ready to work with Kapoor again. One comment referenced an article claiming Kapoor is reviving RK Studios and planning to announce three films, the first of which would star Padukone and be directed by Konkona Sen Sharma. However, there has been no official confirmation regarding this project.
While neither Padukone nor Kapoor have officially announced any plans to work together, this public interaction has undoubtedly amplified the demand for their reunion. The actors' careers have evolved significantly since their last film together, with both achieving considerable success and acclaim. A rom-com starring both of them would likely generate substantial buzz and anticipation, given their established chemistry and fan following.
