After Deepika's post, B-town flooded her comment section with supportive messages and cheered on the upcoming movie. Actor Hrithik Roshan seemed excited for the Indian adaption as 'The Intern' is one of his favourite films according to his comment. Deepika's husband and biggest supporter Ranveer Singh wrote, "amaze!!!" with clapping emojis. Earlier, the Indian version of 'The Intern' was supposed to feature Rishi Kapoor in the role that Robert de Niro originally did. However, the unfortunate demise of the veteran actor in April 2020 called for a change of plans. According to Deepika's post, it appears Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan is set to replace late actor Rishi Kapoor in the film. The crew will begin shooting for the remake in November 2021 aiming for a release in summer 2022. The Amit Ravindernath Sharma directorial is produced by Sunir Kheterpal and Deepika Padukone.
