Earlier, at this years JIO MAMI Movie Mela, the actor had shed a little light on her new project. I have found a film that I am likely to do early next year but its not light. Its still a messy romance, its quite dark but still in the romantic space, she said. We now hear Deepika and Karan had a discussion after which the former came on board as a co-producer too. The report further states that Gully Boy fame Siddhant Chaturvedi has been paired opposite Deepika. This, however, isnt Deepikas debut as a producer.
