Pressed for De Niro production (6)
I believe the answer is:
ironed
'pressed' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'de niro production' is the wordplay.
'production' is an anagram indicator.
'de'+'niro'='deniro'
'deniro' with letters rearranged gives 'IRONED'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for ironed that I've seen before include "Pressed and smoothed" , "Made smooth, shirt or collar" , "Smoothed with domestic device" , "Smoothed out wrinkles" , "De Niro (anag)" .)
