Deepika Padukone has all the right reasons to smile. After all her parents are proud of their 'beti' who has managed to make a steady progress in her professional career. Being one of the very few actors in the industry today who has a huge line up of films, Deepika's last major success was Sajid Khan's HOUSEFULL (Akshay Kumar). Now she has Yash Raj Films' LAFANGEY PARINDEY (Neil Nitin Mukesh) lined up which would be followed by Karan Johar's BREAK KE BAAD (Imran Khan) and Ashutosh Gowariker's KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SE (Abhishek Bachchan).


"I am fortunate to get such a wide range of films and my parents are expectedly happy for me as well", Deepika perks up here, "The year has begun well for me. KARTHIK CALLING KARTHIK was a good film and it wasn't one of your quintessential Bollywood film. We marketed it appropriately as well and it did reach out to its target audience. The film's script was quite realistic with a thriller touch to it. HOUSEFULL was an entirely different experience as it was a hardcore mainstream commercial film which was bright, colourful and entertaining. Now I have LAFANGEY PARINDEY coming up which takes me into a different zone. Things couldn't have been better."

Looks like she is also taking a conscious call in choosing her projects that give her quite a wide range of roles throughout the year.

"I am glad that my directors think I can do better with every passing film of mine", gushes Deepika, "OM SHANTI OM or a LOVE AAJ KAL have been milestone affairs and now I aspire to have many more milestones like these in years to come. It is great to see such a wide range of films coming my way."

She adds, "Now look at Ashu's (Gowariker) film KHELEIN HUM JEE JAAN SE; it is a completely different affair. I have been shooting with Imran on BREAK KE BAAD in Delhi and it has been fun so far. Once you see all these bunch of films over next few months, you would yourself tell me that they are all different films. Whether it's the story, my character or the look; thankfully I have been able to do try out different things in all aspects."

After the latest news that filmmaker Sajid Khan, who is synonymous for making hilarious and entertaining films, has been roped by producer Vashu Bhagnani to direct a film, one is all the more eager to know about the further developments on the forthcoming project.

We got in touch with the director who said, "Yes, I am doing a film with Vashu Bhagnani. I am working on two films currently. All I can say is the one with Vashu Bhagnani is a very big budget film while the other one is a very small budget film. Nothing on the films is finalised. I am still working on the scripts. Even the cast is not finalized."

Sajid Khan will also continue making films with Sajid Nadiadwala, who produced both his films HEYY BABYY and HOUSEFULL. "After the two films are complete, I will start another film with Sajid Nadiadwala. It should happen next year and will star Akshay Kumar and Riteish Deshmukh. Sajid N, Riteish, Askhay and I will always do films together. We are family," he signed off.

So fans get set for yet another fun-ride from Sajid Khan!
