Actor Deepika Padukone gave fans a pleasant surprise as she announced her second pregnancy on Sunday. On the occasion of Akshaya Tritiya, Deepika and husband Ranveer Singh shared a joint Instagram post to inform fans they are all set to embrace parenthood once again. But, pregnancy does not mean that work has stopped for Deepika. The actor, who has two big films lined up for release, is still on set and plans to continue filming through her pregnancy.
Deepika to continue shooting for Raaka through her pregnancy
Deepika has recently started filming Atlee’s upcoming pan-India actioner Raaka, which stars Allu Arjun in the lead. The film’s title and first look were recently revealed on Arjun’s birthday earlier this month. Deepika also has some portions of Shah Rukh Khan’s King left unfinished. HT Digital reached out to industry sources about how the actor plans to manage these shoot schedules around her pregnancy, and our source shares, “During her pregnancy, Deepika Padukone is shooting intense action sequences for Raaka.” Needless to say, Deepika and the makers have taken all precautions while filming. Given that both King and Raaka have announced release dates and are on tight schedules, Deepika wants to stick to it. “She will continue to shoot for the film throughout her pregnancy,” the source adds.
