Ranveer Singh gushes with pride, Samantha Ruth Prabhu calls Deepika Padukone a ‘queen' as she signs Atlee's film starring Allu Arjun
Bollywood fans are buzzing with excitement, and all eyes are on Deepika Padukone . Just weeks after reports of her exit from 'Spirit', the actress has bounced back with a bang. She's now set to star in a grand pan-India film with South megastar Allu Arjun and hit filmmaker Atlee. The project, currently titled 'AA22 x A6', is already creating massive waves online. A stunning comeback after becoming a mum This marks Deepika's first film after welcoming her daughter Dua, making the project even more special for her fans. The announcement came through a stylish teaser video that quickly went viral. In the clip, Atlee is seen narrating the story to Deepika, who looks effortlessly graceful in an all-white outfit. Without revealing too much, the teaser gave fans just enough to get excited about. Many are now eagerly waiting to see Deepika in what's being teased as a 'never-seen-before avatar'. Samantha's shoutout: 'Yasss Queen' The announcement also got love from fellow actresses. Samantha Ruth Prabhu was one of the first to cheer her on. She re-shared the video on her Instagram Story and wrote, 'Yasss Queen Deepika Padukone, Atlee.' The video's caption described Deepika as a 'queen' who is ready to 'conquer', and Samantha's shoutout added even more sparkle to the already exciting news. Ranveer Singh 's sweet reaction Deepika's biggest supporter, her husband Ranveer Singh, didn't hold back either. The 'Simmba' star reacted to her announcement post with a burst of emojis and a one-word comment that summed up his pride. He wrote, 'Whuoa!' followed by heart-eyed, fire, and clapping emojis. 'Spirit' exit sparked debates The timing of this new announcement is interesting, as it follows Deepika's much-talked-about exit from Sandeep Reddy Vanga 's 'Spirit'. Reports say that the actress had asked for an eight-hour workday, a high salary, and a share in the film's profits. These demands, however, didn't go down well with the director. Deepika, who recently became a mother, is now reportedly trying to strike a better balance between her work and family life by reducing her working hours. Due to this, she was dropped from 'Spirit'. Fans praise Atlee for understanding Deepika While the 'Spirit' exit raised eyebrows, fans are now applauding Atlee for teaming up with Deepika. Many believe he truly understands and respects her choices and superstar status. The comments section of the teaser video is full of fans thanking Atlee for 'understanding' Deepika's current phase in life.
