Deepika Padukone is diving headfirst into the world of futuristic action once again, and this time, she’s not alone. Hot off the success of ‘Jawan’, Deepika is reuniting with director Atlee for a big-budget sci-fi action flick, and joining her on screen will be none other than pan-India star Allu Arjun.
