Deepika Padukone has been in the news for speculations about her wedding with Ranveer Singh and her appearances at Cannes 2018, everything but signing another film. The actress has no films in her bag after Padmaavat and turns out that she is now looking for content-driven roles only. Though her co-stars, Ranveer and Shahid Kapoor, already started shooting for the other films they bagged right after Padmaavat released. Ranveer has two films after the successful historic drama. A source told Deccan Chronicle that the actress hasn't come across anything that is as inspiring as Padmaavat. She is looking for scripts that will define her as an actress and help her grow.

Her back and her neck are also one of the issues that has the actress worried. The source says, "Her back/neck problem is being properly attended to and she will be fine soon. As for marriage plans, they in no way impinge on her career. The reason Deepika is not signing anything new is because of the quality of roles coming her way. They are all big-banner films with top heroes. But nothing even remotely as author-backed or inspiring as Padmaavat.  At this stage in her career, Deepika is no more content playing the conventional leading lady. It has to be a script that offers her as much to do as the male protagonist."

The source also adds, "She has gone on-record to claim she was paid more than the leading man in Padmaavat. Big banners like Yash Raj Films and Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions are not willing to  pay her that kind of  money." Well, speculations are also rife that the actress is keeping most of her days free to plan her wedding. She did have Sapna Didi signed with Irrfan Khan but the shoot has been postponed due to the actor's health issues. We can't wait for DP to sign another film already.
