Deepika Padukone recently took to her Instagram stories to share the viral London Symphony Orchestra scene from Maestro. She called it one of the ‘greatest’ of recent times while lauding Bradley Cooper, who portrays late US composer Leonard Bernstein in the biopic. Sharing a viral six-minute-long scene from the 2023 film, the actress wrote, “Aah this scene! Probably one of the greatest performances I've experienced in recent years.”
For those unfamiliar, Maestro is latest biographical romantic drama directed by Bradley Cooper. The biopic centers on the relationship between American composer Leonard Bernstein and his wife Felicia Montealegre (played by Carey Mulligan). The particular scene was shot in Ely Cathedral, where Berstein had famously played the symphony in 1973. Bradley revealed it took him six years to prepare for the scene. "That scene I was so worried about because we did it live... I was recorded live. I had to conduct them. And I spent six years learning how to conduct six minutes and 21 seconds of music. I was able to get the raw take where I just watched Leonard Bernstein [conduct] at Ely Cathedral... And so I had that to study,” he said during the screening of the film.
Deepika will soon be seen in the upcoming aerial actioner Fighter alongside Hrithik Roshan. She will be playing Squadron Leader Minal Rathore aka Minni in Sidharth Anand’s directorial.
