Highlighting her versatile acting choices, Deepika emphasized her commitment to storytelling over the scale of the project. She reflected on her career, mentioning films like “Finding Fanny,” “Chhapaak,” and “Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey,” stating, “I’ve always been that actor. Way before I’ve done films like – they didn’t do well, so we don’t remember them – Finding Fanny, Chhapaak, Khelein Hum Jee Jaan Sey; there are a lot of these movies. So, as an actor, I’m most excited about telling stories, whether it happens to be a Rs 500 crore budget film or a Rs 50 crore; I’ve never looked at that. I am interested in telling a story.”
