Deepika Padukone talks about Bajirao Mastani vs Dilwale clash

Bollywood’s número uno actress Deepika Padukone has said that she has a very personal relationship with Shah Rukh Khan and she would never ask him to postpone his film .

Several reports suggested that Deepika, who forayed into Bollywood with Shah Rukh starrer ‘Om Shanti Om’, had called SRK to request him to change the release date of ‘Dilwale’ to avert a clash at the box office. Dilwale is releasing along side Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani during Christmas this year.

But Deepika has a different story to tell.

“I have a very personal equation with Shah Rukh. I would never do something like that,” she said when asked about the rumours.

And Deepika added that she thinks it’s “professionals like producer and director” job to decide on the release date of the movie.

“When you are working on a film like ‘Bajirao Mastani’, you have very little time or headspace for even getting involved in something like that.

“The only thing you can do as an actor is do your part with honesty and conviction and leave the rest to the professionals like the producers and the director to take the call,” she said.

Bajirao Mastani is a period drama starring Ranveer Singh as the 18th century Maratha statesman Peshwa Bajirao I, while his love interest, Mastani, is essayed by Deepika. Priyanka Chopra portrays Kashibai, the first wife of Bajirao.

  • Okay you guys really want deepika to say dilwale will beat BM? Oh c’mon man it her film, let the poor girl have hope

  • Dilwale will crush BM.
    Dilwale 1000cr worldwide with clash and 500cr domestic.

  • Bajirao Mastani will never beat Dilwale no chance never.Dilwale has King and Queen and BM has what? Nothing just nothing. Dilwale will rock.

  • Even if every SRKian went once to theater to watch Dilwale it will beat BM.. Bcs bc it has SRKajol which is the most loved pair worldwide.

  • This is why Bajirao Mastani will flop and Dilwale will be a major hit :

    -Dilwale is the only movie with SRK this year
    – SRK and Kajol together on screen after so many years
    – Rohit Shetty is the directior who has directet many hit movies

  • May be she didn’t call or may be she did, i don’t know . but the thing which matters is, if she didn’t call SRK to postpone his film she also didn’t try to avert the clash by postponing Bajirao Mastani specially when she always pretends that she is loyal to SRK still she didn’t.. even Priyanka Chopra said : I wish we couldn’t postpone BM but it’s not in my hands ( which i totally agree with her ) whereas Deepika’s statement was totally different from PC’s statement . anyways

    What i exactly meant to say is there no loyal or close friend in the Industry . everyone uses big stars like Shah Rukh Khan . & when it comes to show loyalty then they didn’t do it .

    But then that doesn’t matter . Every logical person can guess Bajirao Mastani can’t even recover 150cr + budget with a solo & with a big festival release , recovering such big budget with a clash that too with such a big film like Dilwale is impossible . in both cases BM will be a flop/disaster .

    & if clash happens then BM be badly thrashed by Dilwale & will be 4th back to back flops for RS .

  • if Deepika or Bajirao can beat anyone or any film that is my film. Ranbir ne bhi maari thi meri ;( :( , ranveer bhi mar sakta hai. :'( :'(

  • If BM will go for clash with this year biggest blockbuster movie Dilwale then BM will destroyed…. Only SRK rules in the box office….

  • I think BM makers are waiting for Dilwale’s trailer & trade response to decide whether to postpone or not.

  • Dilwale’s casting, action and production values will make HNY & Chennai Express look like small movies. Believe me.

  • BM is a 150cr budget period drama, so a clash with a film like Dilwale will be the most risky thing to do by SLB.

  • Dilwale is nothing interesting, boring and old jodi, pathetic sets and poor songs, worst director of bollywood Rohit shetty.
    BM is superior in every way, great sets, cinematography, great music, great director, and two highly talented actresses.
    BM will win the clash and will be 100 times better film than dilwale.

  • calm down all haters….Both movie has potential to do well…..so don’t be so hyper both movie will do business over 200 crore…..

  • salmir fans r very happy that dilwale clashes with bm….srk ki king of clash….remember despite classes with ouatom2 CE broke each and every records in 2013…..dilwale tsunami is coming…2000 cr on the way

  • @armaan : Clashes are won -not by star power but byfilm’s merit.
    1. Dil vs GHayal : sunny deol was a much bigger star than aamir but still aamir won
    2. Indian vs ashoka : srk was a bigger star but sunny won it.

  • Dilwale Trailer still more than two weeks away — and SLB had already begun trembling in fear . He’s sending all those PC and DP (knowing there’s great a great relationship between them and SRK) to request SRK to postpone Dilwale .

    Just wait for 11 Nov and watch the magic begin !

  • Froad
    SRK nd her realtions r not good now .
    She even tweeted something wrong in excitement about d clash nd then deleted it later …!

    Actresses like deepika r nothing without big stars . She is just overrated by media . She iz no where close to beauty of katrina, karina nd priyanka nd neither in acting …! Hope it becomes flop nd dilwale Superhit.

  • lallu fans even forgot sunil shetty lost in clash.

    Dil to pagal hai V/s Bhai 31st OCt 1997.

    Clash king SRK SRK SRK…..

  • The truth is that in a clash bm will be 100% flop or average but for dilwale even 175 crore will be very hard to collect. The top 3 reason is
    Less number of screen
    Huge loss in Opening weekend
    And people will get option between 2 movies who is non fan of srk.

  • Here we can see the difference between srk fans and other fans….
    As every fan who love to see BM than dilwale are appreciatinG both moviea and want both to be super hit..
    But srk fans always barks as they want dilwale only to be hit..
    Its the reasOn i hate srk and his fans most..
    Otherwise i had no other problems wid him..
    Learn it guys..
    Manners mynth man…

  • @sss stop being such a moron what the h e l l are you bringing Salman name to this article. I told you before your brains are in your derriere if you took them out once in awhile you would talk some sense. Besides who is SRK he is not God why should producers postpone film there’s was announced first and besides competition is always good for the soul. SRK wants the clash so that he can manipulate the figures to say he is no 1 which he is not
