‘Deepika Padukone Visited Hospital for Routine Check-up’: Project K Producer

In an interview with Deccan Chronicle Ashwin Dutt said that it was not a ‘health scare’ but a ‘regular check-up’, as Deepika had recently recovered from COVID-19. He also clarified that Deepika was not ‘rushed’ to Kamineni Hospital.

Ashwin further said that Deepika is a “true professional”, and despite the makers asking her to take rest, she resumed work. “Deepika ji is a true professional. We wanted her to have some rest, but she resumed shooting with Amitabh Sir directly. Her dedication is amazing.”

Directed by Nag Ashwin, Project K also stars Prabhas in a key role.
