Deepika Padukone's transformation for Majid Majidi's next will SHOCK you!

We know you must have been expecting Deepika Padukone to start Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Padmavati first but the actress is currently busy shooting for Iranian director Majid Majidi's next ambitious project based in India. 

The first look of DP's character from the film is out and Deepika looks unrecognisable in the film. From sashaying the red carpet in a sexy outfit a few days back, DP is now walking the streets of Mumbai as a rag picker with torn clothes. Yes, that's what we can make out from the first few stills of Deepika that has now gone viral on the Internet. 

The casting director of the film said, "It is an Indian story and will be shot in Mumbai, Delhi, parts of Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan and Kashmir. It will take off towards the year-end or early 2017 and is a signature Majidi film with new takes on relationships and emotional quotients."

Deepika was expected to start Padmavati but she plans to wrap this up before embarking on SLB's magnum opus.

Here are a few other snaps from the shoot...
