Those eagerly waiting to watch Deepika Padukone on the big screen, may see her in a superhero avatar. The 32 year old actress is reportedly in talks to play Bollywood’s first female superhero. It is said that two instalments of the franchise are already being planned, and it's going to be one of the most expensive films in the history of Bollywood. A source close to the production said that the 'Bajirao Mastani' actress will undergo intense mixed martial arts training for the film.
They said, “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.” They added, “Deepika will have various action scenes which fans haven't seen her doing before. The untitled film will be produced by Fox Star and she's quite excited about it already.” The film, which is expected to go on floors early next year, will be a breakthrough for Hindi films.
