At the Jio MAMI Movie Mela with Star, 2019, when film critic and moderator Anupama Chopra asked if the actor has decided to do a romantic film next, Deepika said, "I have found a film that I am likely to do early next year but it's not light. It's quite dark but still in the romance space."

Latter Deepika was seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s making fans guess that she might be the filmmakers choice for Gangubai.
Talking more about her equation with husband Ranveer on the sets of ’83 she said "We are very different than what we are otherwise.
