Deepika Padukone Gives a Shoutout to Brad Pitt’s Stellar Role in F1

Deepika Padukone Cheers for Brad Pitt’s Comeback in High-Octane Racing Film F1

Deepika Padukone has joined the chorus of global admirers celebrating Brad Pitt’s performance in the newly released racing drama F1. The Bollywood superstar took to Instagram to share a playful yet powerful message about the Hollywood icon.

In her Instagram Story, Deepika wrote, “Brad Pitt. That’s it. That’s the post. IYKYK.” The simple statement, paired with a sleek promo image from F1, quickly caught fans’ attention across the globe.

Released internationally on June 27, F1 has been met with critical acclaim and audience enthusiasm. Directed by Top Gun: Maverick filmmaker Joseph Kosinski, the movie stars Brad Pitt as Sonny Hayes, a former Formula 1 driver who returns to the sport after a decades-long absence.

The film delivers a realistic portrayal of the racing world, thanks in part to the involvement of F1 legend Lewis Hamilton as co-producer. With thrilling visuals, an emotionally charged storyline, and a star-studded cast, F1 has become one of the most talked-about releases of the year.

Joining Pitt in the film are Damson Idris, Kerry Condon, Javier Bardem, Tobias Menzies, and Sarah Niles. Bardem plays Ruben Cervantes, a retired teammate turned F1 team owner, who convinces Sonny Hayes to return and help revive his struggling outfit.

As Sonny teams up with the ambitious young driver Joshua Pearce (played by Idris), he navigates not just the track but also the scars of his past and the evolution of the sport he once ruled.

With a gripping narrative, high-speed action, and emotional depth, F1 is further elevated by a pulsating soundtrack curated by Hans Zimmer. Featuring contributions from artists like Ed Sheeran, ROSÉ, and RAYE, the music complements the movie’s intense energy and dramatic arcs.

The buzz surrounding F1 reached new heights at its London premiere, where stars like Tom Cruise made a surprise appearance. Deepika’s shoutout adds another feather to the film’s cap, showing its reach across continents and fanbases.
