"I haven't worked with him yet so I can't talk much. But as an audience I can say it is fascinating to see the kind of films he does. As an actor I would love to work with him. It will be extremely challenging and very exciting to be working with him," she said.

In the movie, Deepika will reportedly play mafia queen Rahima Khan, popularly known as Sapna Didi, while Irrfan will portray a local gangster, who is in love with her and helps her in her mission to eliminate Dawood Ibrahim.

Meanwhile, the 31-year-old actress, who was recently praised for her debut appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's 'Padmavati'. The period drama film also featuring Shahid Kapoor and Ranveer Singh is set to release on November 17.

Deepika, who made her Hollywood debut with ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage,’ represented international cosmetic giant L'Oreal Paris at the prestigious event. The sultry actress socialised with the brand's co-ambassadors Susan Sarandon, Julianne Moore and Elle Fanning.

Deepika Padukone looked ravishingly beautiful with open hair and one-shoulder ensemble.

The actress wore Jimmy Choo heels, de GRISOGONO jewellery, bold plum blossom lip colour and her smokey eyes were done up with mascara and eyeliner.

Deepika Padukone, who has starred in Bollywood hits like ‘Bajirao Mastani’ and ‘Piku,’ wowed one and all with her Hollywood debut ‘xXx: Return of Xander Cage.’

Ahead of her Cannes outing, Deepika Padukone said, “What is the red carpet without having fun? I know there is a lot of focus on the clothes, the hair and the make-up, but from all of that, I think the most important thing is that everyone who walks that red carpet must have fun with all of that and that experience.”

Well, that’s exactly what Deepika seems to be doing at the Cannes 2017.

Earlier in the day, Deepika Padukone was spotted at a beach in a red dress, and later she wore a Galvan London dress, Louboutin shoes and jewellery by Messika.
