Shhojit Sircar described the dimpled beauty as one of his favourites and said, "Whenever my writers and I talk, we always think, 'what can we do with Deepika' because I'm so fond of her."
While recounting his experience of working with the 31-year-old in 'Piku', Shoojit said, "It was a brilliant experience working with her. Frankly, while working on 'Piku', I saw the real actress and real creativity in her; and what she is as a soul."
"My revelation was that she is a simple, girl-next-door soul, despite having done many other films and potboilers. Now, I am working on and thinking about something wherein Deepika and I can work together," added the National Award winning filmmaker.
