Amidst all the rumours regarding her next film, Deepika Padukone recently revealed at the opening session of Jio MAMI Movie Mela that she has finally found a romantic film that she was lately waiting to do. 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, the actress said without divulging more details.

Now, Bollywood Bubble has exclusively learnt that Deepika is collaborating with Karan Johar for the dark but set in the romantic space film she talked about last week. Dharma Productions in-house director Shakun Batra who has directed films such as, Ek Main Aur Ekk Tu of 2012 and the unpredictable family drama Kapoor & Sons of 2016 for the banner will be directing this yet-untitled movie featuring DP. Although the details of the project including the plot are yet unknown, we heard that the film will go on floors after Deepikas Meghna Gulzar directed Chhapaak releases in January 2020.

Deepika has been rumoured to be a part of many films as of late. The strongest rumour of them being Luv Ranjans romantic drama with Ranbir Kapoor. However, it seems she has instead picked Shakun Batras film that marks her second collaboration with Karan Johars production company after the huge success of Ayan Mukherjis film, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani .

Deepika is said to have greenlighted this film and the official announcement will be made as soon as the paperwork is done.

Deepikas this film comes as a respite for Shakun Batra after his ambitious film based on the life of the controversial Godman Rajneesh aka Osho was shelved earlier this year. The biographical drama was supposed to star Aamir Khan and Alia Bhatt in the leads, but the project, our sources say, has been indefinitely put on hold until everything doesnt fall in place as a film of this scale requires time and effort, the right kind of infrastructure and people to execute it as envisioned.
