Bollywood superstar Deepika Padukone has solidified her position as the reigning queen of crossover films by joining a record-breaking four cinematic universes of Indian cinema.
She is part of Yash Raj Films' spy universe (read SRK's 'Pathaan'). She is spearheading director Rohit Shetty's cop universe (read 'Singham Again') in the role of a cop. She is part of the Astra Verse helmed by director Ayan Mukerji of 'Brahmastra' fame (she had an uncredited cameo in the film but her role will be expanded in the second part if and when it is made).
The biggest of them is the Kalki Cinematic Universe, helmed by Nag Ashwin. In 'Kalki 2898 AD', she is the lead actress with more screen time than that enjoyed by Prabhas.
This achievement places Deepika at the forefront of a unique trend in Indian cinema, where interconnected storylines and franchises are gaining immense popularity. Each universe promises a distinct genre and style, showcasing her versatility as an actress.
