Why Deepak Dutta Was Shaky Working with Neetu Kapoor

Deepak Dutta's journey in 'Dadi Ki Shaadi' is nothing short of a fan's fantasy fulfilled, especially sharing frames with the legendary Neetu Kapoor. But as he spilled the beans in Mumbai, it wasn't all smooth sailing—he was downright terrified at first. A lifelong admirer of Neetu's infectious energy and radiant smiles in yesteryear hits, Deepak admitted, 'Her films shaped my love for cinema. Facing her on set? Pure panic mode.' Yet, Neetu's genuine warmth dissolved his fears. 'She's unpretentious and connected to her roots, treating everyone with kindness,' Deepak gushed. 'A true pro who elevates those around her.' This collaboration left him inspired and grateful. Securing the role through Mukesh Chhabra's casting after callbacks, Deepak sees his character as universally appealing. 'It captures the son-father dynamic so authentically—deeply moving to portray.' The extended Shimla schedule, spanning 50 days, offered picturesque backdrops and seamless teamwork. 'The entire unit was phenomenal, crafting something special,' he reflected. With Kapil Sharma's humor and Rishi-Neetu's daughter Riddhima stepping into the spotlight, 'Dadi Ki Shaadi' arrives in cinemas on May 8, ready to charm audiences.
