The Hindi remake of the film 'The Intern', starring Amitabh Bachchan in the lead role, was stuck for a long time. Apart from Amitabh Bachchan, Deepika Padukone was cast in an important role in the film, but she has now decided to leave the film. Now she wants to focus only on the production of the film.

The Hindi film is based on the 2015 Hollywood hit 'The Intern', starring Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro in important roles. KA Productions bought the rights to it in 2020, but since then, the project has been facing many difficulties. Earlier, Rishi Kapoor was cast in the film, after whose death Amitabh Bachchan was offered the role. However, the shooting of the film could not start due to the pandemic, Deepika's maternity leave, and changes in the schedule. The project was stalled for almost five years.

Deepika Padukone wants to show creativity in filmmaking.
Mid-Day quoted a close source that Deepika will now be associated with it only as a producer. The source said, 'This time, Deepika will step away from acting in the film and will only work as a producer and oversee the creative and logistical reboot. A new heroine is being cast in her place. The source also said that Deepika is using this change to promote her creative version. The Intern is the first of the five projects she plans to start. She wants to tell stories that grab attention on a global level.

Deepika Padukone was looking for a light comedy-drama
Talking about the film in 2020, Deepika said, 'The Intern is an intimate, relationship film, whose story is set around the workplace. A story that is in line with today's environment. I was looking for a light-hearted comedy-drama, and this story fit the bill perfectly. The Intern has also inspired other versions, including a 2022 Japanese TV adaptation called Unicorn Ni Not starring Hidetoshi Nishijima as Robert De Niro and Mei Nagano as Anne Hathaway.
