The Academy Museum Gala is the world’s second-largest stage event after the Oscars, which are organized by the same board.
Deepika made history earlier this year when she took the stage at the Oscars to present the Indian music act. She attended the event alongside celebs including Selena Gomez and Dua Lipa, as well as Natalie Portman and Meryl Streep.
Meanwhile, on the work front, Deepika was recently seen in the Shah Rukh Khan starrer ‘Jawan’, portraying the character of Aishwarya Rathore. She will be seen in the sci-fi action film ‘Kalki 2898 AD’ opposite Prabhas and director Siddharth Anand’s aerial action thriller film ‘Fighter’ opposite Hrithik Roshan. She also has ‘Singham Again’ in her kitty.
‘Singham Again’ is the third instalment of the super-hit franchise and the film is all set to hit theatres on the occasion of Independence Day 2024. It will face a big clash with Allu Arjun’s ‘Pushpa 2’. ‘Singham’ was released in 2011, followed by ‘Singham Returns’ in 2014. Both projects were declared box office hits. (ANI)
