Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone in Chennai Express

Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone-starrer Chennai Express clocked 11 years on Thursday.

If Rohit Shetty’s hit film Chennai Express is a massive entertainer, the behind-the-scenes moments are equally fun and capable of cracking you up. As the Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan-starrer clocks 11 years on Thursday, mom-to-be Deepika took to her Instagram handle to share fun moments from the sets of the 2013 film.

The video featuring clips from the shoot begins with SRK saying, ‘She is Singham 5,’ asking Deepika to create Singham’s signature pose. Naturally, fans reacted by saying that the Jawan actor predicted Deepika would act in the Singham franchise, also directed by Rohit, years before the actor was cast in the cop universe. “Most favourite one. Btw Shah kinda envisioned it before anyone else that you would be doing a Singham movie,” wrote a fan.

The footage compilation also has the iconic moment between SRK (Rahul) and Deepika (Minamma) where the Pathaan star says, “Aye Minnamma, meri dictionary mein impossible naam ka shabd hi nahin hai?” To which the Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani actor replies, “Accha? Kahan se kharidi aisi bakwaas dictionary?”

“How many times do you think I’ve had to repeat this dialogue!? Sahi jawaab ko milega ‘Ek Bakwaas Dictionary’!!!,” Deepika Padukone playfully captioned the post to mark the milestone.

Mom-to-be Deepika Padukone will be seen playing Lady Singham in Rohit Shetty’s upcoming film Singham Again. In April, Rohit teased fans with a sneak peek of Deepika’s character Shakti Shetty on Instagram, revealing the actor in action as the fierce cop. In the still, Deepika channels power and intensity, mirroring the iconic Tiger step made famous by Ajay Devgn in Singham (2011). Apart from sharing the picture, Rohit also penned a heartwarming note for Deepika. He wrote, “MY HERO… REEL MEIN BHI AUR REAL MEIN BHI LADY SINGHAM!!”
