I can't reveal much about my role at the moment, but I can say it was truly an honour and a dream come true to work with Neetu Kapoor"

Talking about his overall experience of working on the movie, Deepak elaborated, "We shot this film in Shimla for almost fifty days, and it was an amazing experience. We had brilliant producers, a fantastic unit, and very talented technicians. My director, Aashish R Mohan, is exceptional, I will always be grateful to him for giving me this opportunity."

Talking about Dadi Ki Shaadi, the movie stars Neetu Kapoor, Kapil Sharma and also marks the Bollywood debut of Neetu Kapoor and Rishi Kapoor's daughter Riddhima Kapoor Sahni.

This is such a wholesome interview. I love how Deepak was nervous but Neetu ma'am made him comfortable. That's the mark of a true artiste. Also, Kapil Sharma and Neetu Kapoor together? Comedy gold! Shimla shoot sounds dreamy. 😍

Nice to see Neetu Kapoor still active in films, even if this looks like a typical family comedy. Deepak seems genuinely starstruck—hope his performance matches his enthusiasm. Bollywood needs fresh faces.

Fifty days in Shimla? Must've been freezing! But what a crew—Neetu ji, Kapil, and now Riddhima debut as well? That's a big deal. I'm curious how her daughter will fare on screen. Deepak seems like a grounded guy. All the best!

I remember watching Neetu Kapoor in "Rafi" songs with my parents. She's timeless! But honestly, is anyone else tired of this "dadi/family comedy" trend? Hope the script is as good as the cast.

So sweet that Deepak mentioned being nervous—it shows he really respects her work. And Neetu ji being down-to-earth is no surprise; the Kapoor family has always been classy. Will definitely watch this one! May 8th, booked. 🎬
