Deepika recently announced her next project – a Hindi remake of Hollywood romantic comedy, The Intern, in which Rishi Kapoor will be her co-star. Her last release was Chhapaak, the Meghna Gulzar directorial which is inspired from the life of Delhi’s acid attack survivor Laxmi Agarwal. The film was mired in controversy after Deepika visited JNU (Jawaharlal Nehru University) campus ahead of the film’s release to show her solidarity with the agitating students. A fallout of it was that the IMDb rating of the film took a hit with people downvoting the film in large numbers.

In a video shared on Twitter by a fan club, Deepika is seen giving out a clear message to her detractors. “Unhone meri IMDb rating badli hai, mera mann nahi (They have changed my IMDb rating, not my mind).” The video is from last month.
