All that the internet is talking about right now is Gehraiyaan and why not, it’s got us all super excited. I mean, ever since the teaser, and trailer of the film have dropped on our screens, all I am waiting for is the film’s release. From the interesting cast, stunning visuals to the beautiful melodies, Gehraiyaan has got some happy surprises in store.
But one thing that has been the talk of the town, ever since the trailer release is Siddhant Chaturvedi and Deepika Padukone’s romance. And talking about his journey from signing the film, to playing the role, the Gully Boy actor has revealed an interesting little fear of his. Talking about which Siddhant shared with a news portal, “In my head, I was like, ‘Wow’ she’s Deepika! How am I going to romance her! She has worked with the likes of Shah Rukh Khan, Ranveer Singh, Ranbir Kapoor. Look at my competition. It is a romantic film and I didn’t want people to say, ‘Nahi kar paya.’ Of course, Shakun narrated the story to me and since I was eager to work with him, I said I am on. We knew there was intimacy, but we didn’t know to what extent. The screenplay didn’t particularly mention that because it wasn’t erotic poetry or something. The workshops and readings happened later.”

Talking about being scared about the intimate scenes and his apprehensions with the need of an intimacy director on the sets, he further added, “Pehli baar jab maine suna toh thoda dar gaya ke itna kya hai picture mein jo intimacy director ki zaroorat pad gayi (when I heard about the intimacy director, I was scared and clueless about it’s need in the film). But I realised that’s how Shakun likes to work. His portrayal of intimacy isn’t just physical, but emotional and nuanced. It flows organically.”
While I have been loving the two together on screen, Siddhant’s reaction to being paired opposite Deepika Padukone is definitely normal. I mean, the woman’s a goddess, right? But the two really look good together, and I am extremely excited to watch the film.
The Shakun Batra directorial also stars, actors Ananya Panday and Dhairya Karwa, and is all set to release on February, 11 on Amazon Prime Video.
