Bollywood star Ranveer Singh on Sunday expressed excitement about his actor wife Deepika Padukone’s forthcoming movie with South film director Atlee, saying it is unique.
Billed as a “magnum opus”, the currently untitled movie marks Deepika’s reunion with Atlee, following their successful collaboration in the 2023 blockbuster Jawan, headlined by Shah Rukh Khan. It is produced by Sun Pictures.
"I happened to visit him (Atlee) on the sets of his current film because my wife (Deepika) was shooting with him. You may have heard it before, but you can take it from me, he is creating something that you may have never experienced in Indian cinema before," Ranveer told reporters at an event here.
The actor, best known for films like Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani”, 83, Padmaavat, Band Baaja Baarat, has teamed up with Atlee on an ad film for a brand.
Ranveer is working with Bobby Deol and south Sreeleela for the project. The actor said he has been a huge admirer of Atlee much before he attained wide acclaim and success with Shah Rukh Khan-led Jawan.

"Before he became a household name with Jawan and emerged as the biggest director in India, I had messaged him after Mersal (2017) and I was like, 'I love your cinema, you should come to Mumbai, and we should make some movies together'. This was back then. I wanted to collaborate with Atlee sir", he added.
