This is the second time the two have teamed up as earlier in 2007 Deepika made her debut in Bollywood opposite SRK with Om Shanti Om and says now she interacts with him more freely and they share a friendly equation.
Quizzed how it was to work with SRK for the second time, she said, “You know, when we did Om Shanti Om, I was a newcomer, nervous and awkward. Today, I can speak to him much more freely. Today, we share a friendly equation. Shah Rukh is a sport. Unfortunately, a lot of people don`t get his sense of humour. Shooting with him is a breeze. He lightens the atmosphere and makes everything so easy.”
On whether she faces him more confidently this time, Deepika said, “You know, unlike our other film together where there was a large cast, in Chennai Express there is an added pressure because it’s a romantic comedy where the focus throughout is on Shah Rukh and me. For two actors to carry off a comedy on their shoulders is not easy. I am glad I’ve Shah Rukh in Chennai Express to make sure I don’t flounder.”
Her film YJHD also stars Ranbir Kapoor, Kalki Koechlin and Aditya Roy Kapur. It releases this Friday!
