Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan reunite for The Intern remake

Deepika Padukone-starrer The Intern has added one of its key members to the cast, the actor announced on Monday. The Hindi adaptation of the Hollywood flick will see Deepika Padukone and Amitabh Bachchan sharing screen space once again after Piku. The film was originally announced with Deepika and late actor Rishi Kapoor in the lead.

Sharing a poster which featured the silhouettes of Padukone and Big B, Deepika wrote that she is honoured to be collaborating once again with her most ‘special co-star’ Amitabh Bachchan. The text read, “What an absolute honour to be collaborating with one of my most special co-star again!💛 Welcoming @amitabhbachchan to the Indian adaptation of #TheIntern.”

The Intern is a remake of the Hollywood movie of the same name which starred Anne Hathaway and Robert De Niro in the lead parts. The 2015 movie, directed by Nancy Meyers, had mostly received positive reviews upon its release. Now it remains to be seen whether Senior Bachchan and Deepika Padukone will be able to recreate the magic of the original.
