Bollywood star Deepika Padukone has joined the chorus of admiration for Brad Pitt, following the release of his much-anticipated film F1: The Movie. The actor shared her excitement on Instagram Stories with a short but expressive post:
“Brad Pitt. That’s it, that’s the post. IYKYK.”
Her cheeky tribute quickly caught fans’ attention, showcasing her appreciation for Pitt’s performance in the high-octane racing drama that has received widespread acclaim since its international release on June 27.
Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Top Gun: Maverick) and produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, the film brings an authentic and adrenaline-filled portrayal of the racing world. Pitt stars as Sonny Hayes, a retired Formula One driver coaxed back into the sport decades after a career-ending crash.
With Javier Bardem playing team owner Ruben Cervantes, and Damson Idris as rising star Joshua Pearce, the film explores mentorship, redemption, and the relentless pace of Formula 1. The cast also includes Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Sarah Niles, and others.
The film has been lauded not only for its performances and gripping story but also for its realistic racing sequences and cinematic flair, bolstered by a thrilling Hans Zimmer soundtrack blending orchestral and electronic elements.
The London premiere was a star-studded affair with Tom Cruise and other celebrities in attendance, elevating the buzz around what is being hailed as one of the best motorsport films in recent years.
With critical acclaim and star support like Deepika’s, F1: The Movie has firmly raced into the spotlight.
