Deepika Padukone refuses to talk about the various controversies surrounding 'Padmavati', says that she is not doing any Hollywood project at the moment
Deepika Padukone's Hollywood debut, 'xXx: Return of Xander Cage' has gone on to become the most successful movie of the year 2017. While the actress is busy basking in the success of the same, when quizzed if she is planning to take on more projects in Hollywood, Deepika said, "No nothing happening in Hollywood as yet. Would let you know for sure but yes, a lot of films coming on way and I’m happy.”

The 31-year-old actress has her hands full working on Sanjay Leela Bhansali's magnum opus, 'Padmavati'. Talking about the experience of collaborating with director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the third time, Deepika said, "Sanjay Leela Bhansali brings out the best in me as an actor. Working on ‘Padmavati’ with him brings out a creatively- enriching feeling in me… The way he pushes you, challenges you… That’s what drives me to do his films.”

Deepika further added, "It is difficult as an actor to work with someone you have worked for so long. It’s challenging for both the director and actor to bring something new to the table every time they come together. Even when he worked with Ranveer (Singh) in ‘Ram Leela’ and ‘Bajirao Mastani’, it was a similar feeling and these films are classic examples. We hope we are able to deliver something different for the audience this time again with ‘Padmavati’.”

When quizzed about the various controversies that Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati' has been embroiled in, the 'Piku' actress refused to comment on the same.
