Deepika Padukone Goes De-Glam for Her Next International Film

Deepika Padukone is taking her international film career a step forward and is currently shooting for Iranian director Majid Majidi's next. The talented actress will be seen portraying the role of a slum woman.

Deepika was clicked in a complete de-glam look recently while giving a screen test near a slum area. She is quite noticeably playing the role of an underprivileged woman.

After portraying a glamourous ally to Vin Diesel in XXX: Return of Xander Cage, Deepika is set to challenge the actress within her and thus opted for a signature Majidi's film. According to sources, the film will be shot largely in Mumbai, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan and the shooting will continue till early 2017.

Now we know why the Bajirao Mastani star didn't sign any film in 2016. After ruling the Bollywood in 2015, the actresses completely focussed on her international career and will return to the home industry in 2017 with Padmavati.

Not to mention, her smart move to work with one of Iran's finest directors will prove extremely beneficial. Majidi is known for his realism and his notable films include Children of Heaven, The Song of Sparrows and The Willow Tree.
