In a media interview, director Siddharth Anand spoke about presenting Deepika Padukone in her glamorous avatar in the upcoming Shah Rukh Khan movie Pathaan.
"Deepika Padukone, apart from being a fantastic actor who has grown with each film, is also the hottest actress of our country. Casting her for the character in the film was as organic as it could get. She can be vulnerable and yet very, very sexy just effortlessly. So, when you have her in the film, you have to present her in a way that does complete justice to her." He further added: "I wanted to present her in her most glam avatar ever. That became a mission for the team and me. So, for Besharam Rang, when she is in a visually stunning coastal town of Europe, dancing with Shah Rukh Khan, we decided to just maximise how hot DP could look on screen! And the result will be unveiled when you see this amazing song."
Pathaan is part of Aditya Chopra's spy universe and directed by Anand. Pathaan's star cast comprises Shah Rukh Khan, Padukone and John Abraham. Pathaan releases on January 25, 2023 in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
