Deepika Padukone who is making her debut as a producer with Meghna Gulzar's 'Chhapaak' spoke about her production house KA Entertainment. When asked what the meaning of 'KA' was, Deepika said, "Ka also means soul. It is the part of your body, part of your being that gets leave behind when you die. I hope I will be able to leave behind a body of work that all of you will enjoy when I am not around here anymore. I will make mistakes in the process and I don't want to sound like an experienced producer because I am not but I am here to learn and add value wherever I can."

In 2015 while speaking to PTI Deepika had said, “I want to venture into production and be a producer or line producer someday because I feel I have that kind of personality. I like to organize, put things together and make things happen. I don't want to be a producer because I want to make money. I just don't want to get involved in any kind of business in context of cinema. Profit, loss, box office none of that."
