Deepika Padukone gets candid about her blockbuster pairing with Shah Rukh Khan

Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan are one of the most saleable on-screen pairs out there. The duo who have collaborated on movies like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Happy New Year are ready to set the screen on fire yet again with Pathaan.

Deepika candidly speaks of how Shah Rukh and her have always delivered blockbusters together. In a video released by the producers of Pathaan, she shares, “Shah Rukh & I have been very lucky to have had the opportunity to work in some incredible movies starting with Om Shanti Om! I’m collaborating with my favourite co-star Shah Rukh. We have a beautiful relationship and I think the audience always sees that in the movies that we do.”

Answering the appreciation coming their way for how good they look together in Pathaan, Deepika says, “Well, he and I can both take credit for that. Again he was also on this intense diet and exercise. So, he and I can both take credit for the work we have put in individually. But at the end of the day, it is the team that you work with.”

Furthermore, she adds,  “Whether it is the director (Siddharth Anand) and his vision or it’s the cinematographer (Satchith Paulose) and how he is envisioning lighting us, whether it’s the stylist (Shaleena Nathani) – how she envisions these characters, whether it is your hair and make-up team. So, it’s your entire team that sort of comes together, so sure you can put in the work and do the best you can but you also have incredible world-class professionals who come in and make us look the way we do!”
