The original Intern was about a 70-year-old widower named Ben who joins a fashion startup as an intern and forms a bond with the founder, Jules. The Hindi version will follow a similar story, with Amitabh Bachchan playing the senior intern.

This is not the only film Deepika has left recently. She also exited the film Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. However, she has several exciting projects ahead. She will appear in director Atlee’s next film with Allu Arjun, King with Shah Rukh and Suhana Khan, and the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD.

These upcoming films will mark her return to the screen after becoming a mother. Deepika and Ranveer Singh welcomed their daughter, Dua, in September last year. She was last seen in Fighter, Singham Again, and Kalki 2898 AD.
