After US trip, Deepika Padukone set to resume Padmavati shoot

Deepika Padukone, who has been flying in and out of the US, apparently pursuing other prospects after xXx, resumes the shoot of Padmavati by the end of March. Says a source in the know, “The battle scenes that Deepika is meant to perform in the film will take her to a new level of on-screen stunts. It’s what most female actors haven’t attempted in Bollywood before — a fierce warrior in a battle.” It comes at time when actress Anushka Shetty also will be seen pulling off some fierce stunts for Baahubali 2. Adds the source, “Deepika’s battle scenes in Padmavati, however, would have to be way more complex and sophisticated than what the audiences will see in Baahubali 2.”
