Despite not having a substantial box-office pull, Gurinder Chadha still manages to hold an allure. Several Bollywood actresses, over the years, have joined hands with the Bend It Like Beckham director. Aishwarya Rai has starred in Bride and Prejudice and Mistress of Spices. Shabana Azmi worked in It's A Wonderful Afterlife. Huma Qureshi was seen in Viceroy's House and Lara Dutta in Beecham House. Now, Gurinder might have charmed Deepika Padukone with her talent. The director took to her Instagram page to share a selfie with the Bollywood diva. She captioned the pic, "Had the pleasure of sitting down with this woman and her team. What a powerhouse! Head screwed on firmly and great business acumen. You go girl. @deepikapadukone great role model for all."

We wonder if a movie is on the table. We will be keeping an eye out for any updates of that nature. Deepika seems to be on the lookout for her next project. In July, the actress met Luv Ranjan with Ranbir Kapoor to discuss a project. Two days back, she met Sanjay Leela Bhansali at his office. And now, Gurinder. Which director will the actress choose next?

Deepika will be next seen in Meghna Gulzar's Chhapaak. In the movie, she will be seen playing the role of an acid-attack survivor. The first look of her character stunned everyone upon its release. The actress will also be seen in a special role in hubby Ranveer Singh's movie, 83, playing Kapil Dev's wife Romi Bhatia. There were murmurs about xXx: Return of Xander Cage sequel happening, but there has not been an update on it for a long time.
