Currently enjoying the success of his latest aerial actioner Fighter, actor Mahesh Shetty recently opened up about working with Deepika Padukone in the Siddharth Anand directorial. Shetty played the role of Squadron Leader Rajan Unninathan, a wingman to Patty (portrayed by Hrithik Roshan).
Opening up about his experience of working with Deepika Padukone, Mahesh Shetty shared that the actress was extremely helpful on sets and was a part of their ‘boys gang’. He also revealed how Deepika motivated him during the shoot of the ‘Sher Khul Gaye’ song.
“Deepika Padukone is a sweetheart. Super motivating and all heart, always going out of her way to make others feel special. She was very much a part of our boy gang and gelled in so smoothly. I clearly remember the day we were filming Sher Khul Gaye. I being a non-dancer was a little petrified since I was dancing along with none other than Hritik and DP themselves but she took me aside, gave me a much-needed pep talk and put all my inhibitions at ease,” he said.
“I will never forget and will always cherish that day and how she helped me and got me rolling with the thought that I’m doing well and jo hoga dekha jayega,” the actor added.
