In Homi Adajania's comic caper Finding Fanny (2014), which starred Deepika Padukone, Ranveer Singh had made a special appearance. Now, it's her turn to do the same. She features in a cameo in his upcoming film, 83. "I have about five to six scenes," says Padukone, who plays Romi, wife of cricketer Kapil Dev, in Kabir Khan's film based on India's 1983 cricket World Cup victory.

After Padmaavat (2018), Bajirao Mastani (2015) and Goliyon Ki Raasleela Ram-Leela (2013), Padukone is glad that she is teaming up with Singh for a movie with a different subject. "All these three films were costume dramas and emotionally heavy. Also, we ended up dying at the end of all!" So, she's glad to be alive in this one. "In that sense, it was relatively emotionally lighter," says Padukone.
