Here's Why Majid Majidi Did Not Sign Deepika For His Film Despite Taking A Look Test

It is known to all that Iranian filmmaker Majid Majidi is directing a flick based on India, titled ‘Beyond The Clouds’. Shahid Kapoor’s younger brother Ishaan Khattar will be playing the male lead in the film. Lately, rumours were there that Deepika Padukone will be a part of this film and Majid had asked her to give a look test. Majid Majidi has now given his view over this look test of Deepika.

In an interview to a leading daily, Majid said that he never doubted Deepika’s professionalism and the look test was just to see how much she suits the role. He said, “And when I asked her for a look test, it was not to doubt her professionalism. She is an excellent actress. But how much she befits the role, that is in my vision, I wanted to see.” About Deepika not being chosen for the role, he said, “Let me tell you though, that the circumstances were such that they weren’t favourable and nothing materialised of it.”

Ultimately, Mollywood actress Malavika Mohanan bagged the role of the female lead. On being asked why he prefers newcomers over established actors, Majid replied, “In my movie, if there is an old lady or a young man, a small child, if I picked them before they had ever seen the lens (of a camera), they come out as natural actors and I get the maximum out of them."
