While rebutting the claims that she will be attending the Oscar Awards, Deepika stated that she is not a part of a Bollywood remake of Mr & Mrs Smith. The 2005 Hollywood film, which starred Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt (and marked the infamous Pitt-Aniston split), was the story of a married couple who find out they are both trained assassins out to kill each other.

“Well, let’s set the record straight because there have been a lot of rumours regarding a lot of films I am supposedly doing. I think usually there is a lot of dignity involved when an actor is approached for a film, whether it’s a narration or when an actor saying yes or no to a film,” Deepika said.
“I had always maintained, when I am offered a film, I’ll talk about it, if not, I’ll never talk about it. All the speculation can go on. The only film I am doing now is Padmavati, it’s consuming all my life. When I have something else to talk about I will do that,” she added.
